No.
This is not what he said. I suspect Im hearing a chip fall off a shoudler

There is a wide range ebtween games that very tightly force you into a
particualr role and games that have a strcutrue but stil lallow free roleplay.
Fact of the matetr is ANY pen and apper judge's campauign has a certain
degree of structure. Roleplay is a COOPERATIVE story tellgin effort between
palyers and judge. In a OLRPG, the game designers and administrators are
the judge.
