Charles: Also, do you think that the imagining takes care of itself if the communication works well, or do you figure the imagining is each player's own look out?
The former.
This makes CS go "Is it that..."
if imagining doesn't work well, then communication clearly didn't work well, so a mechanic that interferes with imagining must neccesarily be interfering with communication, and communication that leads to nominal understanding is inherently less effective and successful communication than one that does lead to good communication? Or is it that if you analyze the communication without reference to the imagining, then you will be able to identify good communication, and if good communication happened, then the imagining it produced must have been good? I understand the first as a definition thing that can't be meaningfully disagreed with, but the second I would be interested in parsing out further.
