I can see the error too. My brain is just willing to go all Pepe Silvia until I have a solution that fills in the gap.
So I recently learned something about myself...

Just a quick bit, but I do cut them some slack on this particular instance for Made in Manehatten. I'm pretty sure most of my aggravation was coming from people trying to tell me it's 'just how it works' or 'It's not worth focusing on/bringging up' because those are NOT options I have.
My brain isn't going to accept either. I understand perfectly that the writers simply overlooked it. I understand perfectly (especially now) that they might not have even noticed it, and I understand perfectly to most people this minor little detail isn't going to be important to most watching it.
The thing is. None of that changes the fact that it doesn't make much logical or narrative sense. So... it's still going to get pointed out to me.
Then imagine you get people trying to tell you how minor a thing it is when your brain does this. I've often wanted to scream "How in the bleep am I supposed to DO that huh?"
Certainly confirms what must be happening when I dream. It's so ironic too. My brain can't properly mimic things like air pressure, or atmospheric sound. And yet BECAUSE of how it is, it points that out to itself and immediately concludes that I'm dreaming.
And yeah, that's probably the reason I mostly lucid dream.
No worries buddy, like Med mentioned, we've all got our little idiosyncratic personality ...uniquenesses. lol. I didn't want to re-litigate a decade old fim episode debate again so deeply, but it was the only example of your brainism I could really speak to. Point being, it is good to know that it has helped... after a fashion... at least. My brainism is mild dpd, and that tends to manifest with me trying to be who people need me to be... I just meet a lot of people who don't have an "oh its this asshole again" in their lives apparently. XD...
I genuinely wasn't trying to upset you. Just point out, that we on the outside are always going to be on the losing side of this fight with your brain... when it holds all the cards regarding what data it will accept... especially in cases where the data it does want... doesn't exist.

This kinda makes me think of my mom- she likes things a certain way (eg cleaning/minimalism) and cannot comprehend that I do not like those things the same way. When I try to explain, she just ends up lecturing me again on how wrong I am.
Video, at least you're able to recognize what your brain is doing and making an effort.

I hope so.
The main problem I know I'm having here that my brain is clashing with. Well let me give this example. Destorn you said this:
Okay so A. Random thing I thought of. I can possibly give you that, but to me like I said it seems pretty obvious how it doesn't make sense narratively or logically. And "it's not an actual problem with the episode."
But like... WHY isn't it a problem? I've given the work on my side on why it seems like a problem. But I'm not seeing a reason here on why not. So my brain is just kinda going. "We don't understand why you are telling us this. You are making a statement without anything to back it up."
B. I can see what you are saying, but to me, just because there is an ooc reason for why a thing happened doesn't actually change the fact that as far as I can tell it's still an error.
Like most of us noticed back in season one for the Grand Galloping Gala episode, how that one stallion became a cyclops for a split second. Minor animation error. Most probably didn't notice it. However if I said: "That's an animation error" I wouldn't have people arguing with me that it was in fact NOT an animation error.
C. I know the episode isn't asking me to fix it, and I know we can't fix the error. I can even accept that 'Plot hole' might be a strong way to say it. "Narrative error" might be better phrasing. I can't even really see what I'm doing as tangential as you say.
Because at the end of the day, my brain has settled that it's an error based on a list of information it's gathered. Info based around logic and probability. Everything seems to check out.
I'm being told "But it's not something wrong" and not being given any reasons on WHY it's not. The best I seem to be able to conclude is basically: "Most people aren't going to care" Which is fine and all, but that doesn't magically change the fact that it's clearly an error. At least based on current information.
So I get all worked up and frustrated, because I keep being told. "But it's NOT a mistake!" Without any information on WHY everyone doesn't think it's a mistake, and my brain starts trying to figure out what they mean. What info did we miss? Is there an observation that we overlooked? WHY WHY WHY.
Before I knew what was up, my conclusion was I wasn't giving the right information to YOU. That's why I'd start giving examples of things, and repeat things over and over, because my brain figured your brain was just overlooking the obvious data point we had and if you had it. It'd click and you'd realize what we were saying, and could properly argue the point back.
Except I guess to you guys there isn't any info missing. I can't really put what you think into words, because the way you see and process the world is so incredibly different then how my brain works I don't think I'll ever comprehend it.
I guess the main point I want to make is that for my brain. If it looks at something, has the data to back it up, and has no data that in fact proves what it's saying is wrong. Then it, and I just can't comprehend how we are WRONG when all the data we have appears to be RIGHT.
Please bear with me, because knowing what seems to be the problem is one thing. I'm not entirely confident I'm going to be able to adjust to it right away though.
