    Based on everything I've read previously, I already thought evolutionary psychology was 90% hokum before this thread -- that's why I recognized the specious claims as soon as they were made.

    It is one thing to suspend your disbelief. It is another thing entirely to hang it by the neck until dead.

    Verisimilitude -- n, the appearance or semblance of truth, likelihood, or probability.

    The concern is not realism in speculative fiction, but rather the sense that a setting or story could be real, fostered by internal consistency and coherence.
