Both sides of this debate love taking their arguments to extremes, how about a little sensibility around here?

Having jumping != "platforming." The ability to jump does not automatically make a game a "platformer" game.
Funny, you're taking your argument to the extreme and not even bothering to read what all is being stated. You're not even bothering to account for... CONTEXTUAL JUMPING. Implementing jumping with purpose comes down to one of two things: either it becomes a platformer, or jumping is strictly a contextual action.
