Namely, everything starting with "it can be argued."
For one thing, Examples Are Not Arguable. For another, Deconstruction is about taking a trope or theme and showing how it would work out in a more-realistic setting. For example, Erfworld takes the gameplay mechanics of tabletop strategy games and fashions an actual world out of them that takes those mechanics literally, rather than representing more complex (and tedious) facets of diplomacy, combat, what have you.
With that in mind, Fools Edit Account is claiming that Immortal Defense's story is showing how the very concept of defense works in reality. And frankly I think that claim is just a wee bit overblown and pretentious. Maybe he didn't quite understand Deconstruction and thought it was just a Label of Awesome to apply to this game, but either way, it had to go.
