I'm going on Ryan Dancey's statements about what constitutes the
core/what's necessary for D20. You could just as easily argue that FUDGE
would take about 40 lines of text to make D20 a complete game, but
that's beside the point.

FWIW, I've played dozens of wargames in just about any genre you care to
mention. And please, don't assume that when I said "incomplete" I was in
any way referring to "background fluff."

Anyway, I don't see how your response negates the basic point that D20
is unlikely to touch GURPS' customer base in any significant fashion.
