That "regardless" is important. When I'm thinking as a Tactician - which I do a fair bit - I will pick a solution that accords with an artistic preference, or which adds style in some other way, if I can find one. I may even go to extra effort to do so. But doing this needs either to make sense within the game world, or to have no visible effect within the game world. Mixing the gameworld level with the inter-player level seems like poor practice.
