I don't know sometimes I run into things who are technically very much both, and I end up scratching my head where to exactly post it.I always believed this to be an issue that came from not having a completely dedicated area to lore specifically (even though it was stated to be in FFXIV discussion). Or perhaps a focus on 'me'. Instead of questions of, "Can my character do this?" more questions of "What are the differences between all of the magic roles in combat?" "What can a Summoner do over an Arcanist in battle?" "What roles do Arcanists have in battle and in the life of Eorzea other than... customs?"
"Can my lalafell character throw that highlander over 5 feet?" or "What are examples of feats of lalafell strength?" "What is the physical strength like in general?
To be honest I find a lot more of the workshopping to be headcanon/speculation more theorycrafting than clear cut lore. I feel like it's a bit of a waste that some topics for lore are more in the workshops areas than in an area more general to those who are interested in those lore bits. They also get much harder to find unless someone categorically remembers where each bit they quoted or linked was mentioned in what forum.
