That is a gross misrepresentation of the argument, True Sheol. I would suggest rereading
the previous posts before making a claim like that, particularly before associating
people who disagree with your view with "brain-dead viewers."
I assure you that I, for one, am not brain-dead. Nor did I ever ask for things to
be
made "absolutely clear." In fact, I stated on several occasions that I did not want
to
see detailed explanations because I feel they can be just as guilty of killing a good
story as the underexplained, confusing, shock-value stunts such as the Misaki incident.

That question is more about art than science. I think that trying to identify a maximum
and minimum point of satisfaction will only serve as a distraction.
