Relaxed Intensity
From my vantage point this is not a conversation about preferences. I do not really care about what anyone's subjective aesthetic preferences are. I do have an interest an accurately depicting the actual differences in play approaches, rather than some bogus like real life framing that treats one sort of eliding of details as fundamentally more virtuous than another sort.
Given the medium none of us can accurately depict an entire fictional world. We all choose details to elide and others to focus on. That we all elide some details and foreground others does not mean there is no meaningful distinctions. Those distinctions have a demonstrable impact on play. Just not the ones being put forward in this thread.
