"I don't like this dessert" is an expression of taste. But "I don't like this dessert because it's made with coffee; I hate the taste of coffee" is also a statement of taste. Questions of taste commonly come down to liking or disliking a specific quality.
And "realism" in the sense in which GURPS uses it, as an antonym of "cinema" (or "epic"), looks to me to have something to do with the way in which Kromm's tastes differ from mine.
