Its so close now to being said. Please someone connect the final dots.

Player agency is a myth?

I like the idea I've seen floated around (maybe originated by Jeff Rients?) that you only gain the XP for treasure value by spending it carousing. Basically, it doesn't matter how much loot you liberated by invading the Benevolent Temple of the Kobold Great Mother and slaughtering the holy innocents there, nobody's going to know about it unless you blow some cash at the Black Boar and tell people about your exploits!

Ah, yes, that’s exactly what this thread needed. Another analogy…

Analogies are to a thread as yachts are to a regatta.

Yeah, and ultraviolet grasslands has a great table for this

My biggest issue with xp for gold in b/x is that it necessitates a particular kind of character--you pretty much have to be a tomb robber--and the amounts of gold ruin an economy almost immediately. It's also a specific mentality to think about taking everything that isn't nailed down and most things that are nailed down. Even though this is how most people play CRPGs!

Payn goin' to work every day.

Meanwhile, I have reviewed the Takhisis/Tiamat thread.

I know that there is a lot of company ... but that might be the worst argument on enworld; if not ever, then certainly currently. I am dumber for having read that. There's something about watching people argue who, obviously, care very deeply about something that you don't care about at all.
