I always wonder why people bother making comments like those. People who like to "do what they want no matter what anyone else thinks" probably wouldn't be asking for input in the first place.
I'm in an odd sort of situation with this sort of thing. I'm certainly for trying strange and interesting ideas and approaches - which fits with the "do what you want" camp - but I also think it's a good idea to try and meld that idea as closely as you can to the lore as it's presented. Play around with the gray area, but don't dismiss the stuff that's been straight up said in the game or by the Lore team.
Gogon would be a bit of an... extreme case of this, I guess? I took a lot of liberties with what he did with the Soul Crystals he hunted down... but I also tried to keep his mad science from defying anything that was said in the lore. Then again, I constantly worry about what other people think when it comes to stuff like this... which both helps and hinders.
