Primarily because I was responding to Stormcrow's statement that "It doesn't become storytelling until I tell you about it later and I impose a narrative structure on it." I was saying that you don't need to "impose a narrative structure" on an rpg, because narrative structure is inherent in rpgs. It m ay be a minor point, but I have presented other arguments for rpgs having other storylike qualities.
