Someone once told me that in a movie with a car chase scene, if the car flips or rolls over but you can't see an engine (as in, the space where the engine would be is visibly empty), the scene is ruined and loses its appeal. The reason being that it doesn't portray how a car would and should act since the heaviest part of it - the engine - is gone. I'm sure you yourself have noticed little inconsistencies like this in TV shows and movies as well, so do you think your understanding of how something works (or should work) in the real world negatively affects your enjoyment of how such a thing is portrayed in media like TV and movies? That as your knowledge of something increases, the enjoyment of a fictitious representation of it decreases, because you're unable to easily [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_of_disbelief]suspend your disbelief[/url]? Conversely, would you say someone who is less knowledgeable about something would find a similar portrayal [i]more[/i] enjoyable?
