LOL< I'm glad you enjoyed that.
I know it's a bit harsh, but I'm watching the OP dive for his threads life to the bottom of a trench here, and wondering what the point in that could possibly be? I thought the idea was to make the position expressed with regards to anecdotal evidence -more- plausible, -more- credible....
Maybe if it were a mockumentary, or just a crime drama or something....maybe then we could at least -pretend- that we were having some other discussion...but the particular movie referenced is about fucking wizards and quidditch, so.....all we're being asked is how to tell the difference between high fantasy on the big screen and forensic evidence. I'd start with the presence of wizards and quidditch, myself. Or maybe the fact that characters seen to have died in the movies just keep showing up at cast parties and making more movies.....but it's hard to see why those things would be compelling to a person who really -does- need he difference explained to them. That person, if they exist, is just a loon, a complete lost cause.
We all know that RR isn't such a person..I think, but why he would endeavor to make himself out to -be- such a person is just another one of those "wtf?" questions, from where I sit. What kind of thread is this supposed to be, what kind of conversation, exactly, does RR want to have?
