<<You can argue this day in and day out and it won't make a bit of difference.
Wizards has made the _intent_ of what they mean clear, so if you're dealing
with their OGC (probably >99% of all OGC in the world) then you need to
accept that that's how they're going to see it.

I only need to accept things I'm not willing to go to the mat over. I'd be willing to go to the mat with Hasbro over something like this. Even were it time consuming, costly, etc. I would not risk other legal battles with Hasbro, but this I would were I so inclined to write such a piece of software.
If Hasbro wants to de facto rewrite clauses into the license, then they should release a new license.
There are clearly classes of potential OGC (sounds, etc.) which are not human readable.
Additionally, if I OGC'd a sound and you reproduced it by mixing it with other sounds and declared the result OGC, then it may be utterly impossible to ever sift out my OGC from the composite recording, and being a set of noises, it may never be something that could be read or the original even extracted again in the future.
Therefore human readability is not a requirement. See also my recent comments on proprietary word processing files.
