BUT meanwhile, the real audience is a bunch of hyper-analytical types prone to chronic over-thinking who desperately want everything to make logical sense.

Not saying the fans are the ones at fault in that scenario, mind you. I like that people are thinkin'! I just can't help but enjoy the constant disconnect between an audience who cares "too much" and developers who care "not at all".

Like you just know that they see questions like this and just roll their eyes, because they put all of two seconds' thought into it and never expected anyone to second-guess it. They have no idea who their own audience is, and that's kinda funny sometimes.
This is why April Derp is one of my favorite designs of anything ever, with Mega Shredder as a close second. They didn't care about logistics and were like "what is the most fked up thing we can get away with here?"
