Well I have to agree with you on CHIM: that is the stupidest explanation I've ever heard. For anything, ever.

As to Cyrodiil...

1) "No one at Bethesda was there when Arena was created."

Yes, there was, including Todd Howard.

2) So Cyrodiil was "Lore raped" because it's an arboreal forest rather than a jungle? That is incredibly nit-picky, it's just a tree change.

Your original point was that Cyrodiil was "Lore raped", even though only minor changes were made since it was shown in Arena. If Cyrodiil had been shown in Oblivion as a land of green clouds and flying purple unicorns who spoke Mandarin, then I'd agree. But a few minor tree and architecture changes? That's not "Lore rape."
