Dynamics, as much as we composers might wish otherwise, are not

The question is not what you are using for playback, but what you are
using for an audience.
I think I had the question right the first time. The written music
communicates with the performer (what you are using for playback) not
to the audience directly. You write the dynamic that gives you the
sound you require from whatever or whoever is playing the part.
