...But "under these circumstances" means your particular game, or at broadest the kind of roleplaying that your particular game represents. Like, in Dogs in the Vineyard, the GM absolutely should actively reveal the town in play. You're screwing the game over if you don't. In games just like Dogs in the Vineyard, same thing. In other games, though? Sometimes, sometimes not, it depends.
So, when you design a game, yes, take a position on how I should play it.
