This has to be seen to believe. [38 minutes]

Okay, I watched the vast majority of that video. (I skipped some parts in the middle because they got too detailed about the rules and their implications.) Most of the comments I could make about it are so obvious, I won't bother. (Also, I'm afraid some of my comments might look bad out of context and might get my post deleted.)
But I will say one thing about that Gygax quote at 37:22 of the video. I think it's unbelievable that he would write such a thing. In fact, I think it's so unbelievable that I feel skeptical. What's the source of that quote?
You know what? I think I'll write a comment in that YouTube page asking that question. If no one gives me a source, I will remain skeptical.

Okay, I Googled it. It's from the August-September 1975 issue of Europa magazine.
But... I still feel skeptical. Didn't Gygax play D&D with all three of his daughters?
EDIT: Or were those some of the games that he felt were "spoiled"? Okay, that might be a good answer.

...that Gygax quote at 37:22 of the video...
I meant 37:32.

I told you that it would be hard to believe.
I was actually alive in 1976 (I was 12), and I still have trouble believing it.
