Nothing restricts me in any way from doing so, since (by my argument)
the LoV isn't an entity existing within the game (and anyway, I'm
creating it; not changing it).
Incidently, I agree that this is a pile of nitpicking arguments; but
it's no more nitpicking than people who argue that the Rule of Assumed
Consent doesn't work properly...
