Personally I agree with you on this point, however many (particularly the designers of T2013) may disagree so I included it.

I most certainly do NOT take it as an attack. I welcome feedback otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to state my position once more as clearly as I could.
My arguement is simply that the GDW works have been published and cannot be changed. If somebody disagrees with the GDW works, then by all means change it to suit, publish and discuss the changes, but don't try to claim individual (or group) perspectives as
"the way it must be".
I myself use work done by many which is definately not canon in the strictest sense. I pick and choose a bit here and a bit there, but always use the GDW works as a base. This is how I believe all historical or alternate history RPGs should be approached. Change the base, canon work too much and you've completely changed the whole feel.
It's a bit like time travel. If one person was to travel back and assasinate say General Montgomery in 1941, the course of WWII might have been significantly different. And if that was different, the world we live in today is sure to be significantly altered.
