Of course, this might mean that directors and producers actually take 5th=
 and
6th grade science.

Excerpt:

ience
by confining scriptwriters to plotlines that embrace the suspension of
disbelief but stop short of demanding it in every scene.

y
University in Atlanta, Georgia and a member of the Science and Entertainm=
ent
Exchange, an advisory body run by the US National Academy of Sciences.
