A cinematic ability to always already have done the correct procedures only is a different animal, but as written SOP is realistic.

I can understand not liking some 'Cosmic' version of SOP on steroids, or even the suggestion of rewriting Common Sense to be this, but: If it's an Advantage it should be treated as an Advantage.

I am saying that isn't how Common Sense works and that always doing every conceivable procedure wouldn't be common sense as colloquially meant, it would in fact be an obsessive compulsive disorder and impossible to actually achieve.
