Same here. In my early OD&D days, I rapidly decided that TSR claimed far more authority than they could justify, given how little sense so much of their advice made. I gravitated to GURPS because Occam's razor and reality checks were important tools, and that's never changed.

Managing Expectations is a fine book; I was surprised and saddened when I hit the end of it.
