I think the landmarks are reasonable enough - not perfect by far, but fair and reasonable at least, not insane - I just wonder how Pundit sees them now that he's pissing all over D&D4e. It's just a it funny to say, "D&D is the model of what most people define as an RPG, and therefore also the model for a successfully-designed RPG" and then later say, "4e is shit", or whatever specifically he's said.
If X is your landmark, and then X moves, you have to readjust your landmarks, yeah?
