'Realism' and fidelity are not the same thing. Realism is subjective, fidelity is
measurable.

Err, isn't that the entire point. Some think realism is the goal, and
strive for that, others believe that fidelity is the goal.

The funny thing is that my experience has shown that really good kit does both ! That
does suggest to me that personal bias applies in the subjective case.


One can be measured, not the other, so to one person measurment is valid,
to the other, not.

Both are correct to their own aims.

It doesn't have to be a zero-sum game you know :-)

It would appear that you agree with me !
