I follow you, and agree. However, I did pose for the sake of argument we could plot all gamers in a scalar fashion with the admission that it was highly dubious. And obviously I weighted the game mechanics questions more heavily than the game setting or group organizational ones - that's just my opinion of course.
Radicalism in the hobby is certainly multi-dimensional, but trying to select which dimensions to plot is well outside the scope of my post (that the "average" gamer is probably playing some pretty interesting games, even if the "median" gamer is a dungeon-crawlin' door-bashin ork-killin' mercenary). I'm not even sure such a multi-dimensional study would be possible, given the decades long mutating argument over the dimensional meanings of the threefold model.
