I can see where you're coming from, but this bit is just downright intellectually dishonest. We both know that first bit is flavor text. Trying to use it to rationalize your position isn't a valid argument.

EDIT: Additionally, I think that we should all remember the metarule that just because one mechanic works one way, doesn't mean all mechanics that are somewhat similar work that way.
