I think the reluctance stems from most people being quite happy with the OT when they first saw it, and making logical assumptions that Lucas would adhere to what he had already created when he made the PT. Unfortunately this was not so. This leads many, including myself, to believe that the problem lies more within the PT than the OT. I personally dont think that the original source material should be changed all that much to make it fit better with the garbage that was the PT. Lucas lost his mind, we didn't.
