I agree, although I think you're making a Designer mistake there in locating this quality in the game's design. It's really not a property of the game how fiction and rules feed into one another, or which one leads which.
It's a question of implementing the rules into the fiction created at the table, something that players decide upon and do on their own. It is something that a great number of roleplayers actually resist being told how to do. Ironically enough, I've seen people opt to screw up the gaming experience, instead of changing how they put rules and fiction together.
