Smoke,

    Isn't the point of fiction to make the unbelievable believable? That is
what I was always told. The point of fiction is to take events that could
never really happen in the real world and make them some how seem
plausible.
While I am not as good of a debater as Ron is, the ball is being dropped a
bit too often in this case. Make me a believer, not more of a skeptic.

If you talk to other folks in other fields, one common thread emerges, if
it contains any of your area of expertise, it stinks.  My wife has years of
education and work experience at nuclear reactors for the state of Arkansas
checking nuclear materials all over the state.  She delights in giving me
detailed explanations of how screwed up Hollywierd has their nuclear
science.  I subject her to the same when it comes to history and
archaeology.  When the action adventure thriller or Sci-fi movie does not
cover either of those subjects, we actually enjoy it more because we just
don't know any better.  Those flicks are a lot more plausible.  Just
remember, EVERYTHING that comes out of Hollywierd is fiction.  Even WWII
documentaries showing McArthgur coming ashore were shot twice to get the
right photographic effect.
