Seems that you care. Besides, that was not the distinction I was talking about, it was about distinction of information learned during play and that learned from books/internet, which by your preceding paragraph you seem to care about quite a bit.It seems to me that if the character knows the same things the player does, reacts to things the same way and makes same decisions they would, then you're not really roleplaying. You are not playing a role of a persona distinct of yourself.Decades ago. So was your argument that they originally were fro player skill in environment where that might have made some sense. But if that were the case, why we still have them as such environment no longer exist and has not for a long time? Tradition?</blockquote>
