(This is especially true of wu-hsia fantasies.) To that extent, they feel more credible. They work more for me. And they actually also possess that much more charm for me as well by virtue of being something that might have existed.
The same can't be said of SW.
Oh, and I'm aware of those absurdities you mentioned, too, Rikard. I merely haven't the time to indulge my abhorrance of SW that far.
