Well, I'm not claiming that it's maths exam difficult, or anything. But it is an annoyance, and the lack of numbers mean that you lose an amount of flavourful information that might otherwise be there. Basically its no easier - but also no harder - than translating a D&D3 scenario into HQ (leaving the setting aside, of course).
Its an annoyance. Its a disappointment. But its not the end of the world, no.

As I wouldn't be using those, I'm not sure of the relevance.
