Collected Thoughts

The only reason I can imagine is that they're caught in the grip of a story they like, canon or reality or believability be damned, and don't realize that their fantasies are fine if kept to themselves, but if they're going to share them with a larger audience, they ought to be readable at least.

I have a hard time with it too, so I guess I'm trying to play devil's advocate here. I'm not convincing myself, though I can believe that there are people who don't see their own errors because they're so entranced with their story, and therefore don't understand how the error is so glaring to someone else who isn't as invested in their brilliance.
