I said my argument was not based on any "long standing custom or general consensus"; i.e. it was not a prescriptive one like you claimed. But truth based. But if you want to go there: Do a search on this or any other D&D related forum. Find me the discussion thread outside of this topic where...

Except that my premise is not prescriptive; It is not based on some long standing custom or general consensus. It is that of the objective truth. Factually verified by the artist himself: "I recently was asked a question about the Ancient Red painting I did for the cover of the Red Box...
