I'm curious if you think this shortsightedness has practical effects on the later advice within? (I have not read it.) You say "drawing is not making lines on paper," but if I open a drawing textbook and the intro says "hey, you got this, drawing is just making lines on paper," I feel like that's not actually the claim being made.
Storygamers want the cachet of TTRPGs without the achieving the understanding and putting in the necessary effort. They are, without doubt or question, wrong.
We have a long hill to climb to take back "TTRPG", but it's a worthy climb.
