Not sure I agree with this. I guess it comes down to the target audience/goals in mind for the 3House book. If you are wanting 3House to market to & draw in new players, the opionions of random people are exactly what you should be interested in (IMHO of course!). If you want to get new people playing homeworlds, consider the perspective of 2 people who have not played homeworlds, sitting down with a Rainbow & a Xeno set, trying to play homeworlds. If the mapping is confusing or doesn't feel 'natural' it will negatively impact the experience of the game.
