The problem with using arbitrary filters to define what constitutes games that it is both subjective and changing goalposts from the initial claim.
For example, what if some one only likes mech simulators?
Playstation has Armored Core.
X and TitanFall unfortunately aren't mech simulators, they are more like games with mechs.


So basically what that overly complicated metaphor that didn't help explain your point means is that using generalizations creates a vague opinion which is probably going to be misunderstood and argued against very easily?  

The problem with that argument is that I would have to restate all of that in an enormous wall of words which would probably be ignored instead.  

I stand by my generalizations, the reason people are getting confused is because they are being offended by what my generalizations say so instead of taking them in a broad sense like they should, they nitpick over the tiniest flaw in those generalizations.  There are always exceptions to every rule, and maybe the rule is only really effective in certain areas, but as long as you understand where the speaker is coming from, you shouldn't have to be offended by it.
