"I'd like to know more about this rule on when flaws really count or when they should be brushed aside as insignifcant or whining."

In my case, every so often one aspect of a game or one moment in a game will have enough of an effect on me for me to dismiss its flaws/weaknesses (although not really as often as I've suggested in other posts.) On the other hand, if there is no point in a particular game that has that effect on me, I'll usually be less willing to tolerate individual flaws than I might otherwise have been.
