Okay, that makes me feel better. And I love that you're one of those people who can say, "This just doesn't work." I feel like in fandom I encounter a lot of people who want to fanwank everything and who insist that everything makes sense if you only think about it right and I'm all "NO! SOMETIMES BAD WRITING IS BAD, YOU KNOW?"

I've clearly had some run-ins with such people lately. *sigh*
