Frank, sure, good rules and bad rules. But you don't want to dismiss what people say about reward systems just because you think there's no such thing.
The reason it matters is that the largest repeat, the "reward" system, will contain subsystems that aren't rewarding by themselves. The highest-level system gives the subsystems their value.
When one of us says "reward system," you'll miss out badly if you dismiss us with "there's no such thing as a reward system." You can pretend that we said "the longest-running repeating dynamic" or "the system that brings the various subsystems into contact with one another" instead if you want, but I promise you we're talking about something.
