Normally there will be an informational-difference. It seems like temporal linearity is normal in sandbox play; I wonder though, if...

That is wrong. In one case you have a player declaring that they'd like their character to find herbs. In the other you have a player...

First, CR 20 is just the extreme example. Running into stuff that can kill you doesn't have to mean CR 20. If could be 8, 10, 12 or...

Retcon =/= do in the moment. They will never be close to the same, no matter how often you repeat that they are not really that different.

What some of us find implausible (not impossible) is that something interesting happens every time you roll the dice. We can also find...

I don't recall anyone saying that. A lot of us here have said that our sandbox play is player driven, but that's a far cry from denying...
