It's not a matter of "boiling down to specifics" though, it's "boiling down to superficialities". >_>
If you boil down Lelouch and Light, they are at heart two completely different characters with extremely different motivations, goals, and methods. If you oversimplify to "High school student with fabulous hair who uses a magic power and kills people and wants to change the world", you've lost everything important about their characters, and are instead focusing on mere background settings. -_-
