It's a bit like with "trekkies": Lots of smart people with incredible attention to detail. But there has to be some suspension of disbelieve, with certain facts considered "canon". The one difference being that (most) trekkies know they are not talking about the real world 😀
Exactly my thought! Trekkies, Harry Potter fans, even Shakespeare or Pirate fans -- they create this super elaborate world where every last detail is carefully determined. I guess at some level I wonder what the "real world" is: if you and your friends speak Klingon to each other, maybe it's real? 🤷

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."
