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.
