That's good, because nobody has said it.  If you look at the subject line,
you'll see what the original question was all about.

What *I* said when I started this thread was (in certain specific situations
involving complex creatures like the Mind Flayer) that having a stat block
tied to a name isn't worth using if you can't also use a description of the
creature that players are familiar with.  If you have to invent a new
creature to use the stats, you might as well rename it and tweak the stats
to your liking, which makes the original contribution to the SRD essentially
useless.

Obviously you can come up with a new description for a Mind Flayer, nearly
anybody could do it with very little effort.  But if you do, it isn't a Mind
Flayer anymore.
