By that standard, no character generation problems are a problem; after all, the GM can just fix them, right?

A good game should have such things, if for no other reason then to present those playing the game with that exact choice. And that's a very good thing...

The issue is that there are ways to produce that result without the choice of either using the random tables, or having no one ever chose those professions at all. The RQ4/AIG draft found a relatively easy way to do it. It wasn't rocket science. Even RQ2 didn't require it to this degree. It was simply poor basic design that served part of its users no better than the RQ1 and 2 methods, and part worse.
