Steven has certainly played in GURPS worlds, because he and I have
played together in some campaigns run by John M. Ford, some years ago
now.  But this was long after the publication of Jhereg (and so was
the invention of GURPS, in fact), so you can't explain anything as
basic as the definition of a "wizard" that way I'm afraid.
