The only reason we don't play like that is because we're not perfect players.
I don't think that's true, unless certain PRs that make it actionable are assumed to be in the game. You need some kind of reasoning or logic to create a frame of reference for shared positionality to happen at all. Further, the simpler approach you're proposing is easier rather than harder to fake as scum. The main weakness of reasoning and logic is that the typical player skims posts that include it, which make it harder to assess what's legitimate and what's bullshit (in other words, the weakness is itself a product of player error).
You could run a theme game with day phases structured as you propose sometime and see what happens. Maybe you could have a pretty involved nightgame to keep it interesting.
