It's convenient to be able to say "the Tendou sisters" when needing to be
specific though. If one sais "the Megami" in reference to AMS it's not always
clear that one specifically means our three sisters. We need to give them an
honorary surname. :)

Gah, stupid rpgs! Haven't gone near the damn thing in years but nonetheless
the above produced a "lawful neutral!" response...

I think I remember someone saying on this ML that if given the choice between
assuming that his favourite author (ie Fujishima-san) was a creative genius
or that he made it up as he went along, well said poster would go with the
former.
My take on the debacle is that Fujishima-sensei has a concrete overall idea
with the series but is less concerned with the continuity of minor details.
