We need language that makes GM’s feel safe to use the tools without losing what they lovingly created.
The way I talk about these things in GM-led games is that GMs must be good at rolling with the punches, they have to be able to nimbly cope with unanticipated player actions that subvert their plans.
An x-card tap is no different than when a clever player blows up your lovingly crafted plotline with some clever move. You adjust and move on.
