Oh, that's true.  As I've said before, it is the power and privilege 
of a writer to do whatever he or she wants.  However, readers will 
continue to say whatever they want, and to believe that some things 
are realistic and others not, some writing good and other writing 
terrible.  That is the power and privilege of the reader.
