No insult to D&D is implied, AD&D 1st edition was my first RPG (in 1990) and I still have all my books - all I'm saying is GDW tried to make an interesting gameworld for people to play. So I feel that there's no need to worry over the realism factor if it's causing problems, particularly if it just makes things that much harder for the PCs without any fun for the Players.

I think though the tendency is to look at things that are supposed to model our world so closely and when they deviate we cry foul.

I for example don't like the "canon" of T2k (v1) so I change it, but not so much so that you'd not recognize it.
