Discussing game mechanics in-depth on a role-dedicated sub-forum scares people away from playing a Job....what?

Players who would be scared away by such discussion A) probably aren't following these threads (if reading this forum at all) and B) probably shouldn't be playing the Job if they are so intimidated by the prospect of actually doing it well.

You certainly don't need to know all of the X and Y %/min values, and a lot of theorycrafting math breaks down to some extent in actual gameplay, but applying a little math helps people know if a statement is at least in the ballpark as far as correctness and relevance go.
