One can decide that - contrary to their testimony and linked examples - no one really plays according to those premises. Even then, one has to ignore extant game text instructing to do exactly what they testify to.Isn't the simpler explanation that - while there is a considerable body of satisfying play built on different premises - this play really is built on these premises.
