Because every story has a flaw, and if you know it, you can avoid it. As an example, the director of the movie Liar, Liar (in the DVD commentary) said the movie really only had one joke--a lawyer that can't lie. But because they were aware that was a story flaw, they found very creative ways to up the stakes and never approach the joke in the same way and continuously make it worse. And Jim Carrey helped. 😉

For me, I wanted to craft something SO fun for ME....that I'd want to do it for the rest of my life.
.....then I made sure any idea...and mean literally ANY idea, could be placed in this core world idea.
