You're pretentious in assuming you know what's better for others when they have enough experience with actual play that they can decide for themselves what tools do or do not work for them.
This isn't a matter of hard facts, this is soft science. There are a lot of opinions, and a lot of subjectivity.
Bollocks. That is what Vinnie and Foul Ole Ron are trying to sell, what I am trying to do is to tell "be wary of what is written in AW".
Tools are not games. Tools are tools. Like I said, if you prefer to make up your own game as you go, that's your right. But just because someone decided to put their GMing or approach to making that game down on paper does not make them pretentious.
The fact that you find the text insulting, rather than just saying "It doesn't work for me" or even just "It's crap" says a lot.
I see that you decided that few last attempts at logic were just a needless weight to your arguments, and went ramming speed into the Dumb Zone.
If someone puts their GMing approach as a game, and claims that it is the only proper way to run that game, it's pretty much the definition of pretentiousness.
And yes, I find the text insulting, because I value my taste. The fact that you do not says quite a bit more, then it says about me being insulted by the text.
The greatest irony is , that it did work for me - but I don't need Papa Vinnie to guide me through my games, while almost hearing his sarcastic sneer if I dare to oppose his Papal Bull.
You are having fun? Then go and play AW, I don't care.
But don't try to claim that you are a good Game Master, or that only with AW you can deliver the truly complex relationship in gaming.
I'd even say - stop trying to call yourself a Game Master, if you only run AW and games designed with that school of thinking, because you aren't a Game Master. Game Master, like a composer, makes his own style, even styles. In AW, there's no part of being a composer - you are a musician. You choose to stick and play someone else's notes, rather then write your own.
Sure, musicians can get the tears from their audience with their music - but they aren't composers.
