I don't disagree, but you're very clearly missing the point again. This is not about a GM being clever with unusual material. This is not about a player looking for an unusual challenge. This is about a type of player who lacks imagination and cannot think beyond his own unvarying ambitions and goals, which are exclusively concerned with gathering fighting power and killing things (basically treating a roleplaying game like a videogame: a simulation of killing things with cool power-ups) in ways which have little or no necessary relationship to the setting or mood of the campaign. I'll say that again, bolding important elements:

There. That's a munchkin. And that's so much less elegant than the "Florentine ninja" thing. See what happens when you overanalyze?
