universe is missing the point of fiction media!" then they’ll turn around and mock visionary shows like NCIS for scenes in which the detectives enhance the resolution of an image. Oh, computers can’t just do that? Who cares! Lock in! The point is not that the story makes internal sense, it’s what the story communicates!
