You may be making a little too broad a statement here. While exploiting grey areas should not be used to break what is conventional accepted to be so but not explicitly stated in lore is true. it is not the same thing as adapting the grey areas of "we don't know" to justify something like being a PC WHM. Apples to Oranges in terms of degrees. In short, someone who is looking at the lore and trying to figure out what is justifiable in terms of their character, should not be compared to someone who wants to defy all convention. They are not the same thing.
Also, what would be the issue with a short burst of flight being the thematic for someone's Aetherial Manipulation, or laser eyes being a thematic for someone's Fire spell?
