I use bibliography in the formal sense, a enumerated and comprehensive list of works where material has been taken from directly. "Suggested Reading" doesn't count, and almost every book on my shelf has that. For what it's worth Fantasy Imperium's bibliography is quote poor compared to the suggested reading sections in a lot of my books, I was trying to find something nice to say but it seems to have fallen flat.

That doesn't sound very interactive to me.

And what's with this repeated harping over the use of the term "storytelling" game? I get the point that the rules don't reflect the supposed emphasis on storytelling, but your repeated sarcastic use of the term suggests that

b) you're under the impression that Shadowstar Games is trying to be clever by inventing a new term.

That's somewhat close. I know that storytelling is not a new concept and I don't have any particular bias for or against it but if you read the introduction to the game the authors make it clear that they are trying to distance themselves from the "other games" by calling it a storytelling game.
