No, IMO both are important. But since HW rules can't be used to make assumptions on Gloranthan reality (and this is a Good Thing) we must have informations from an inside POV.
Even fiction must be internally consistent (or least consistent in its inconsistency) and must respect genre conventions, otherwise my suspension of disbelief gets suspended. Realism here means only depth, actually illusion of realism.
BTW, I think that HW is consistent enough... Save on a couple of instances.
