I think that's one reason there's such push-pack WRT to Virus. It's a
problem many RPGs and SF stories run into, where the physicists yell
about the spaceflight rules, the biologists scream about the
impossibility of this or that species, the historians pull their hair
out at the terrible history, and so on. Meanwhile, those of us who
aren't experts on those fields shrug our shoulders, say "Close enough!"
and move on.
