That does not make sense to me. Carrying capacity is ALSO a number you know. Why do think one is bad and the other isn't?
I didn't "laud" Goliath adventurers having a carrying capacity boost, I just said I was fine with it. If they didn't I wouldn't care either. It's an aspect of the game that ends up being barely consequential at most tables; if you found a similarly inconsequential way to represent elven grace I would evaluate that in similar fashion, but ability scores and modifiers ain't it as Captain Cap stated.
