I do believe we're talking at cross-purposes, yes.
My main argument in
this thread is against the IMO very strange notion that one cannot use a
work of fiction as a source when writing an article about it. Anthony's
most recent response also implied that he considered a simple plot
synopsis to be "fancruft", which was what the post you're responding to
was in disagreement with.
As I explained in my other post, my comments were much more
restrictive than that. If you have to resort to original research in
order to create a plot synopsis, *that* is what I have a problem with.
