has also said numerous times that it is better to tell people where to look so they can find answers to future questions. OK, I can see that. Just seems like a lot of confusion and protracted threads can be culled with a succinct reply. And I know sometimes when I'm confused about wording or the like, a definitive answer would be a godsend!

I give a mix of answers: some are simple, and some are aimed at teaching people to fish. For example, if you learn that the "Player's Handbook" is the official D&D rulebook, you're never tripped up if another source contradicts it, for you know that the PH takes precedence. #DnD https://t.co/6BUYjQ3d1J

As someone that has been often… annoyed, with JC’s sometimes vague answers, this one is pretty clear cut:
The PHB has all the official rulings. Beyond is wrong in this instance, and should be corrected. If you'd ever like clarification on one of my answers, don't hesitate to let me know!

The guy probably gets thousands of questions every day. Seems reasonable to me that he’d give these more broad, general answers, to try to kill as many birds with one stone as possible. Yeah, point taken. I just think sometimes b&w specificity would nip things in the bud better sometimes…

Agreed. That's why I have a mixed approach.
