What does it mean for you for a world not to work?

For it to not makes sense. I'm not talking about magic, which does not exist in this world and which is something that is purest escape fantasy.

I'm talking about sci-fi worlds or fantasy worlds (without magic) that are patterned on Medieval Earth, or post-zombie-apocalypse worlds, things like that. If you have five hundred people living off canned beans for ten years, well...that just doesn't *work*. If you have Medieval farmers who spend most of their day trying to woo someone rather than actually *farm*, that doesn't work. If you have a space station where there is no recycling and no conservation of resources and no worries about radiation that just doesn't *work*.

Obviously, this is subjective and a lot of people won't care, but I really hate a world written by an author that wants so much for 'specific thing' to be prominent that they completely ignore how incredibly unworkable and weird the scenario is.
