It's true that much can change between Gold and Release. But we can say pretty conclusively that it didn't.
Why?
Because in the Gold spdat.eff, the spell Ally is in the spell ID spot where Clarity is supposed to be. Insight is also missing entirely.
The EQLizer site has Ally, but not Clarity or Insight.
The May 20 spdat.eff dump off the newsgroup has Ally and other high level enchanter spells like Brilliance, but not Clarity or Insight.
We have a complete lack of any mention of the word Clarity from March until late May on the eqenchanters list. 1,400 messages including those about high level spells like Brilliance were sent, and not once was Clarity or Insight mentioned for three months.
We have notes from Brad saying that Clarity and Insight were added since launch.
Finally we have a big enchanter patch at the end of May with big tweaks, and a mention that Clarity was added.
You can't try to counter this conclusion by picking a single piece of evidence and trying to refute the single piece. You have to make a case for why all the above is wrong, as a whole. If you can counter all those five or six things on their merits I'll believe you.
It's starting to resemble climate change denial in here
