This goes to the question of whether RPG sessions are more like literature (allowing for use of internal monologue) or like drama (in which, as Simon prefers, all contests reflect actions observable by others.) I might blog about this in future. Simon, do you mind if I cite your comment in the post as a jumping-off point?

Whether you do one or the other is a matter of personal preference that doesn't change how the system works. Although in practice I guess there's an argument for going with what the players find easiest to execute.
