The problem is that distinguishing between Lesser and Greater Effects is non-trivial for the GM, when it's done
during play.
In the pseudo-world in which a standard Monster Hunters campaign takes place, or the like, it doesn't
matter if the GM gets it wrong and 1% of the time designates an Effect as Lesser even though it should have been Greater.
But if the world is
defined by the absence of
non-subtle magic then an error rate of 1%, heck even 0.1%, is unacceptably high.
That's why going with a GURPS Powers-based approach, where everything is decided in advance of actual play, will help to maintain the world 100% as it has been defined.
