Don't want to move too fast, but reread Faolyn's post, especially the bold. She doesn't see the interpretation as silly because it is...

In the fiction they don't change. At the table they do. If Bob declared the action rather than Alice, Bob might have some other...

I've seen a few like @Faolyn say that not having fail forward or similar is boring. But that seems to presuppose there's no other way...
