>Gygax is the actual designer of the game, wrote the text and has final say on what he actually meant by it.
Gygax was one among many designers, and he even disagreed with himself.
>has final say on what he actually meant by it.
I highly recommend you visit the dragonsfoot forums and read through some of Gary's posts. It should really help you understand that he was not only human, but his "final say" on anything was always shifting and changing.

You want to pretend there is some sort of... finality. Some kind of trump card that can force people to agree with you, but the problem is that your trump card is "You need to believe this because the sacred text written by St. Gygax is the only truth" and even Gygax wants you to know that he's just some bloke and his opinions are not worth more than anyone else's.
