No, I don't see anything at all. I'm just saying that people are remarkably results-biased when evaluating playcalling.

I'm not sure I get your point because how else is an observer supposed to evaluate playcalling except by the results?? By design, a play can be either super creatitve or extremely mundane but if it doesn't achieve the desired result, that play can be considered a failure.

I don't judge playcalling by whether it's creative or conservative, I judge it by results. I would argue that the game plan for the Oregon game in Eugene was genius but not exactly creative; what it was, however, was extremely effective and the bewildered look on Chip Kelly's face in the 4th quarter as the inevitability set in was priceless.
