Unfortunately (or perhaps tellingly), all John's examples were of scenarios, not campaigns (to continue using the wargaming terms -- anyone have better ones? TV versions like episodes and series?). Sandy's examples were of campaigns. Nor did John address Sandy's complaint at all, that systemless games are harder on the GM.
If you ignore the fact that John's rebuttal was less compelling because of this, his real point, that different stories require different tools, one of which is systemless gaming, is valid and worth making.
