Their ridiculous implausibilty is all part of the attraction for me. The fact that an author may claim his/her research was intense and impeccable has no bearing on whether I enjoy their improbable fictional romp. Just like I can still enjoy a magic show knowing full well that I was lied to about audience members being planted and "no mirrors were used." It's over-the-top, ridiculous fiction... and I've given authors of the subgenre permission to lie to me about its authenticity. It's part of the show.
That's a nice and fun attitude.
