I totally agree with Fergus there, I actually had this concept in mind but unfortunately did not bother with finding the quote so thanks. But that does not preclude the possibility (I obviously cannot speak for Fergus but I'm as sure as I can be that he would agree with me) that this could very well be a problem with several solutions. i mean there are sheep, cows and goats. They are all fine herbivores. And most likely it is by the laws of big numbers .

Also even more, Fergus mentioned (I don't recall the literal way) while recommending Gross Chess that there is room for niche variants, meaning people who like crazier (but definitely not inconsistent things) variant using joker or weird board topologies or who knows what?

About the forum link, I had not read each line but I get the point and you are correct. It is well done. Actaully Betza's articles (some touching exactly on this) were my entry point on this website :)!
