I am not sure it's exactly the intent of the loop. The player describes the actions that his PC is doing, but he does not have to describe the intent. Actually, at our tables, we frown upon people describing the intent, as it takes time, and it should not be that obvious unless the PC, in character explain what his intent is. The main problem that we faced at some point in time was people trying to justify their actions that way to avoid criticism from others, which led to endless debates. By describing the actions only, we gained a lot of time and eliminated this fruitless discussions.
