It's already that way in Fate and it's ilk. If the GM ayes a Fate token, the player can pay a Fate token to ignore it, or not ignore it and get one.

Feel free to reread my post. Especially the part where I said that the term is not offensive, just misleading.
(Or, saying it differently, don’t put words in my mouth)

You guys need to reread your posts. Both of you and Wil try to dictate how others should act just because you find the term offensive.

If you're even interested in these from-to categories, then you're already middle-aged :)
Anyway, I think being middle-aged is the best possible state (it certainly is for me), the only problem is that it will end so soon. Happy birthday!

So... one more year before "middle age" starts? Although some folks say that it rather starts at 45 and lasts until 60.

I'm afraid it's more Animals of Farthing Wood/Watership Down vibes.
...I'm really going to have to dig into violence against animals and harm to animals during session 0 next week just so everyone's on the same page when it comes to how detailed we go.

Pithy summary. I wonder if anybody can plausibly state that they do not "fudge the encounter", following this logic.

So, did I fudge dice rolls? No, I didn't.
But did I fudge the encounter? Oh, yes, I fudged the hell out of it.
There are so many ways for the GM to influence an encounter (changing stats, or determining them on the fly, adding opponents to an encounter, changing the situation, and so on), that specifically fudging the dice is hardly ever necessary.
