That in turn tells me that a realistic game, fictional or otherwise, should have these kinds of players be very rare.

Again, if what we want is yet another option in an already truly massive options menu, sure, let's do that. I kind of hope we don't miss the forest because of one or two pretty trees though.
Normally I'd agree with this sentiment too, except for the fact that the feature is pretty much already here is my thinking. The rest of the suggestions are additive, but that suggestion felt subtractive, my comment about customization non-withstanding.

I suppose I should clarify what I mean: With so few real life examples, there's functionally no difference between a realistic setting level and just turning the feature off entirely in my opinion. Historical can just control it at the player level.
