^Yeah that was my fault entirely, though thats not the issue I'm addressing here. I'm not discussing the engine version, but the behavior of the fans in regards to the engine versions.

It goes back to what I said when it looked like she was originally going to be a V3, when people are wrong they skip over it as if they were never wrong. They also don't tend to let those who make a mistake settle down without being constantly reminded they were wrong. Yet those same people who did this with Luka when it was thought she would be a V3, are acting as though they never were wrong.

To put it in perspective, imagine someone being put in front of a crowd for being stoned to death for a crime they committed. The crowd throws their stones and halfway through when the person is half dead, authorities come along and say "hey we got the wrong guy". The crowd moves on but not one person feels remorse for hurting a innocent person or says "sorry" for it. I know thats a little extreme way of putting it, but it was the easiest way I could think of putting it.

Basically, I've encountered this before with other fandoms, wherein people who believe their utterly correct on something to the point where they dismiss every other person's ideas and opinions on whats correct. When proven wrong, instead of saying "yeah I got it wrong" they turn around and focus on the fact everyone else got it wrong. I had this with "Greg" in the One iece fandom, over a character called "Oars". Since there was no official English name for the character by Oda the mangaka, we all used substitute names like "Oz". Greg insisted on going with something like "Odr" since the Japanese text was the same as a (viking?) God and insisted "Oz" was not the correct name. Yet when it came out his version of the name was wrong, he only fixed on the name "Oz" and his reply was "but mine was more correct". More correct? It was still bloody wrong!

Whats wrong with eating humble pie? I eat it a lot and I don't mind saying "I'm wrong". Sharing a little humble pie among fellow fans at least means your not trying to sound like a arrogant "know it all". The guys who ran down the V4 Luka guys are acting as though they were never wrong and have accepted she is V4 without question, yet previously they kicked up a stink about the idea and acted as though V4 Luka was a blasphemous idea.

You getting what I'm going on about here?

Sorry, this feels like a mini-rant.
