A point of order: I don't "uncritically accept claims that there is no such 
thing as a
'death spiral'" since, as I posted earlier, I formerly held your position and 
was convinced by arugment and evidence from many different places to change 
my mind. Or more precisely: I've become convinced that, in the real world, 
partial impairment from injury of the sort best represented by a Dx penalty is 
rare enough that leaving it out completely is a better first approximation than 
almost any other rule - certainly better than BTB TFT (or BTB GURPS). 

Unfortunately I can't recall & present all the different bits of evidence 
that convinced me - it wasn't just the one thread I posted a reference to, but 
many other postings, ancidotes, and reports besides. I'll also accept that the 
idea is counterintuitive, contrary to common sense, and even something that 
reasonable people can disagree about. 

But I have to deny that my take on the matter is *uncritical*
