Yeah, it's an easy rule to over-apply, and can seriously get in the way of the narrative if used too literally. One has to be flexible about it.

In my experience it's about the same. I'm not necessarily claiming that's typical, although I can't believe it's vanishingly rare, either. In any case, the important point is to be aware (as I'm sure we all are) that different people will have different experiences, and that that can shape how they perceive a game.
