This is actually how I play my disguises. A sensation of scales can still be felt and neither of my characters smell quite like a Hyur would, at least to those with a strong nose like the Miqo'te. Not infallible, but good enough to fool most anyone until the time is right. I just happen to call it a 'glamour' OOC because, well, I can't think of anything better that comes close in-game outside of Sylph magic and the like.

The fact is, people are engaging in some incredibly silly and implausible explanations for playing races that do not yet exist in-game because they don't have the patience. And I find that... well, silly, of course.
Then keep to yourself and don't RP with them if it bothers you that much. Of course I think your idea of what is or isn't plausible is overly conservative, but hey, if that's how you feel then that's how you feel. Just don't drag the rest of us down in the process, yeah?
