Why collaborative storytelling is a meaningless phrase

[Max_Killjoy]

their definition of 'story' is too broad to be usefully descriptive, and if you're using it to define RPGs for the uninitiated it might give a misleading impression, depending on the system and the player's understanding of the word.

And that's what some of us have been saying for many pages now. At the point "collaborative storytelling" becomes "technically true" of all RPG gaming, it's also rendered almost meaningless -- and that it is also misleading along multiple fronts.
