In fact this is an obviously false statement. As you may notice, the people who say, "it's fiction and thus fiction does not need any logic to work" are ub fact the ones rejecting all the halfassed ideas being thrown around.
Since when is having a logical basis on ideas half assed? The fact that Lightning really does conduct better at sea level doesn't mean it's halfassed.
The problem is these theories do not enhance the story at all. Whether or not we know how enel existing on the moon, he is. When you guys make a theory that explaining how he can live there, it accomplishes nothing.
Depends on your view. Theories that are brought up may never be answered in the story. That said, however, to those who enjoy figuring out possibilities, the experience enriches their experience. Speculation on time, for example, of the journey across the grand line certain brings up enjoyment in some, and has enlightened those of the public, such as Roman Zaenom's comprehensive timeline and Chlodwig Shillingsfürst's Lunar theory.
I personally do not have a problem with silly theories about the manga, but you are wrong in thinking that you are better than the people who think it is a manga and thus does not need your reasons.
If I implied that I am thinking that I am better than other people who think it's a manga and don't need reasons, then I'm sorry. I never meant to imply such. However, the reverse also holds true.
In fact, the best stance when reading a manga is to not make assumptions about how things work. They just do, and anything that gets explained in the manga is how it works. Zero faulty assumptions there. Faulty assumptions tend to confuse the reader and get in the way of comprehending the story. And the story is what really matters.
Of course the story matters, and if you enjoy the manga without speculating, that's fine too. But to those who prefer to delve into these things, would not a logical basis be needed to assume things else halfassed ideas are automatically accepted; i.e. ideas that have no logical basis at least proven by the story.
In the end, it all comes down to how one tackles a story, enjoying it as it goes along, or speculating as to what might happen or why something happens. But to those who like doing the latter, in order for the idea to be taken seriously, evidence should be given, from the story, or even real life, as Oda puts a lot of effort into what he's doing.
