Nobody's standing in the way of anything. You can imagine whatever you want & call it what you want.
You can even call it Traveller, if you want.
But, here on the TML, you can't expect to propose changes to the long standing principles that underlie & support the very nature of the TU that we've come to know & love w/o encountering vigorous objection.

 Phil, it seems to me
 TU is about what players can imagine, rather than what they
 cannot. Design and designer should not stand in the way of
 that.

 In that case, I can't imagine why you would even bother
 w/ the TU(tm) cuz that's the way it is in the TU(tm)
 & changing all that would yield a result that would
 definitely NOT be the TU(tm), or even a reasonable
 facsimile,  anymore.
