It was a bad example, cut the guy some slack. The more interactive the environment the more players can use their imaginations to compliment the gameplay.

I think we have a lot of silly little graphical effects already. I really want to see games finaly develop past simple linear trigger based gameplay that it is now. Have some decent ambient AI, not so much trees and grass and hair growing. But give AI players some dynamic behavours that enable them to interact in interesting ways, like they originally planned for Oblivion.
