This whole conversation is at least using the words "DND" even if one could argue they're not actually talking about DND specifically. Thus, I was making the point that if you do want a system that rewards creative players DND is not a good one.

What system are you thinking of that stands in contrast to dnd's "explicit permissiveness"?

I'm not even sure what you mean by the "permissive interpretation". Is that the Calvinball mode? Games can definitely go badly when it turns into an inconsistent, unpredictable mess. Games have rules so we don't argue like children on the playground going "I hit you. No you didn't. Yes I did. I have a force field. Well I have an anti force field laser.."
