I think I've figured a major source of rules dissagreements.

I applied Aristotelian logic to a Bayesian filter and got nothing.
I applied Bayesian logic to an Aristotelian filter and got nothing.
I tried a Gödel filter and got static.
I tried a Escher filter and got confusing images.
I tried a Bach filter and pretty darn quick I got weird music.

Looks like I need to try Knuth to reduce the complexity first.

I'm pretty sure we're just all ornery cusses.

Sometime before 1910, according to popular legend, The Times of London published a challenge to writers of the times asking the question

"What is wrong with the world?"

It has been often repeated that G. K. Chesterton wrote a letter to the times that said

"Dear Sir,

I am.

Sincerely,

G. K. Chesterton

So in response to the question

What is wrong with Pathfinder Rules today

I will say

"Dear sir,

I am.

Sincerely

D.h. Austin

I know what is wrong with gaming today.

It is me.

And I am sorry.

PS: What I mean by this is that the real problem is people being unwilling to admit that they might be at fault; I am trying to set a good example here rather than accusing anyone.

PPS: So, I guess what I really mean is, the problem is everyone but me. Yeah, that sounds likely.

PPPS: OK, maybe I was right the first time.

[Claxon]

The real problem is often people arguing for an interpretation that would be incredibly powerful and not wanting to admit that it probably wasn't intended, and instead come in looking for support for their crazy theory rather than looking for actual opinions and understanding of the rules.

[tony gent]

The main cause of disagreements about the rules is because different people read the same thing and interpret it differently.
And then assume that there interpretation is the right and only one.
And you know what they say assumption is ?
That's right it's the mother of all f$*# ups
