His take on it just strikes me as lazy and preemptively defensive, and I'll admit I'm a lazy writer myself. That a story is fantasy isn't an excuse for inconsistencies that jar readers out of it. I'm reminded of something I read a long time ago in a creative writing textbook about how one can make people believe that Wonder Woman can deflect bullets with her bracelets, but not that she does it on the Arizona/Alabama border.
