Holy shit dude.

She's talking about internal consistency, not a complete lack of fantastical elements. Way to take something hyper-literally and then go batshit over it.

It's not just a question of magical elements in the story. It's also a question of what you mean by "internal consistency" and to what extent that matters for the quality of a story. And, like, this is a central and long-running argument in the genre. It is, I think, a problem of the genre that the importance of mechanical internal consistency is regarded as being of such fantastically great importance - almost to the exclusion of anything else. It is a major problem. And I think that is what cbar's post was speaking to.

I can't speak to the tone but the content of cbar's argument is extremely reasonable.
