All most/all of us on the other side are saying is that it matters... Just because something is a core aspect of something doesn't mean it's the most important aspect of something. Headlights in modern times are a core component of a car... I wouldn't say they are the most important though.
Sure. I don't think the OP or most following posts are saying that the presentation doesn't matter at all, just that it's secondary to the actual content.
I don't see presentation as being wholly absent, though. I absolutely use presentation to evoke mood and so on. Others likely use more, and some other folks likely less, but I do use it.
I'd agree with your recent post that an interesting scenario can be rendered uninteresting due to poor presentation. But I don't think that an uninteresting scenario can be made to be interesting due to presentation. So for me, what's most important is the content.
