I want to win in chess. But because I'm bad at it, I lose. But I did have agency. Now if I would just declare that I win in chess, I really would have no agency to play it.I have demonstrated that your definition basically equates GMing with railroading, which self evidently is absurd.My statement about possible benefits about railroading have nothing to do with your argument, apart the part of it where you imagined my motivation for opposing it being my desire to virtue signal by saying that I do not railroad. I do sometimes.Agree to disagree then? You of course are free to use your definition, but I won't expect it to gain much traction.</blockquote>
