Re: Factual Errors in Otherwise Great Fics...

[(Anonymous)]

I can't even parse this, tbqh. Mentioning the abdominal aorta is wrong because some people don't know that there is one? The author is supposed to think of the people who might try to spork it?

Re: Factual Errors in Otherwise Great Fics...

Um... no?

I meant that there's a chance that the writer did mean the upper part of the aorta (i.e. the part that's commonly called that) but was lucky in that the abdominal aorta is, in fact, a thing. If the scene is described from the PoV of someone who's not supposed to know anything about the abdominal aorta, it indicates that the author is either making a stylistic mistake or an anatomical one.

How do you determine whether a character is "supposed" to know anything about the abdominal aorta or not?

Re: Factual Errors in Otherwise Great Fics...

>character with no medical training who didn't manifest any great knowledge of anatomy/physiology before randomly knows this one specific organ really well
>no explanation follows

^^in 90% of all the cases, this is clumsy writing.

You're really dedicated to the idea that this was a mistake on the writer's part, aren't you? It doesn't seem possible to you that characters who fight a lot and routinely take a lot of damage would know some basic anatomy? (And the existence of an abdominal aorta is pretty basic.)

Re: Factual Errors in Otherwise Great Fics...

[dreemyweird]

I'm not actually dedicated to it at all, I'm just proving that it's possible. My original comment was basically an "it might be the case" assertion, but you seemed really insistent that it could never be.

It didn't come across like that to me at all. =/
