It is not about the spesific elements, but rather about the entire design philosophy of spelling out the roles of players and GM in a way that bound a GM to something, and that this something should be player visible. For instance if a GM invite to a game that features "Make PC-NPC-PC triangles" as a required principle, the players can call foul if they recognize there are no such triangle at play. The principle is not protecting the players as such; but that the principle is publicly mandated in the player facing game text provides a level of "protection" against the GM not introducing this as an element (The assumption being that those things players are afforded protection against is things the players agreeing to play this game would find undesirable given their decision to play the game).</blockquote>
