No. People do not abide by this kind of approach. What is tagged beef meat is not beef meat whatever happens.Science fiction is anything published as science fiction. It looks like a weird definition, but that's how tags work.
It could pretend to work that way if people were not that quick to dismiss that kind of approach as soon it works against them.
No. That is the opposite. No matter what products are tagged as RPGs, it will not change what RPG was characterized to be.That's exactly why all the vain attempts to precisely define what RPG is are vowed to fail, it's mechanically easier to extend a tag than to restrict it. And no despotic fan community will stop other people to use the RPG tag.
People can try as much as they want, it wont work. Especially when they are first to jump out of the boat at the first opportunity. Labelling donkey meat as beef meat will not turn it into beef meat.
It is a very strong display of magical thinking, of magical thought. Societies were crushed in the past because they were assessed to rely on magical thinking.
Yet, they never reach the intensity of magical thinking as it can be witnessed these days.
