-This article's primary focus is on what makes certain YANIs and other suggestions impractical or unrealistic to implement for the game&mdash;this also includes why such ideas may not be implemented even when they ''are'' fairly practical, are "realistic" or at least do not qualify as a [[SMOP]].
+In general, most games and other works of fiction in general have a level of what is sometimes termed "acceptable breaks from reality", where the realistic outcome is ignored or "softened" in favor of one that better facilitates gameplay and/or storytelling.
