I think that the continuum of balance of power is more about how players appeal to elements for authority.
Roughshodist implies that situation and past events lend little (perhaps no) authority to a player who appeals to them. Preservativist implies that situation and past events lend vast (perhaps definitive) authority to any player who appeals to them.
The notion that the rules can preserve setting details in the face of [i]concerted[/i] player action is, I think, flawed. They can preserve setting details by empowering players to defend them against other players. Yes?
