Whee here we go again, no, the people are not wrong for having an idea

In this, I think both are correct. Many people have an idea for a device,
and that's good. Also, many people think they know what heraldic art is,
but are mistaken. The job of the consulting herald (and few of us do this
well) is to help people design devices that are heraldicly correct, while
teaching them about heraldic art and not picking on them for not knowing
everything.
IMHO, if the person *really* does not want to do medieval heraldry, the
consulting herald should remind them that they can make banners and paint
shields with anything they want. I've even seen cartoon character banners
at SCA events. Just don't call it heraldry, and don't try to get the CoA
to call it heraldry.
