I honestly don't think that's what I said at all. :/

Au contrair, mon cheri. You mention that Grimoire (and even the terminals from Halo) "violate that tired old saying 'Show, Don't Tell'". You then further state about Grimoire being "the only method of conveying story" in Destiny.

Essentially - those two core tenants are very heavy on a reading basis. The rest of your post is essentially making note, then placing to the side, of the different game-play nature of Destiny denied the ability for a conventional written character arc, and that the story contained in the cards are core to the story, but not in game. This goes back to the observation about reading.

Therefore

Reading out side of videogames, about videogames I could be playing? [Crazy] times two.

For the record - the only reason I'm being so nit-picky about this is that it's... for my understanding.
