The point is that you're trying to split hairs over whether 2e is OSR or not, when 5e is a commonly accepted system for running OSR games.

In the grand spectrum of OSR, there's
>there is only a single way to play, using only a single system, and the only people allowed to play it must present a photo of their lips firmly wrapped around Gygax's penis

Let's go ahead and put that at 0.0

all the way to

>all games are OSR, the only thing that makes a game OSR is putting those letters on it and anyone can do so for any reason

And let's put that at 1.0.

Very few people actually exist at either end of that spectrum. Most people recognize common OSR elements (dungeon crawling, higher mortality, etc.) but what those elements are and how important they are remain quite subjective.

Where people sit on the spectrum varies, and where the cutoff should be for "You're just being ridiculous" also varies. You seem to be at roughly 0.2, and accepting only 0.0 up to 0.2 as the realm of what can be called "OSR".

I'm more open-minded, and sit somewhere around 0.4, but will tolerate 0.1 up to 0.7, because I understand some people are approaching the OSR from a very different perspective than my own.
