518. The quality of weapons and armor almost solely depends on the metal it's made of. The skill of the black smith doesn't matter

Addendum: Any Ultimate Blacksmith is naturally the exception to this rule.

519. Few to no people have heard of the ultimate blacksmith and they live in some extremely remote location

520: Psychiatry is never a valid medical profession. Thankfully, our heroes' deepest issues are usually resolved by the end of the game anyway.

524. If your pets are fainted just take them to a state funded hospital, and they'll be fine in seconds.

525. Three houses is enough for a town.

526. Even if you have a family your house only needs one bedroom with a single bed.

528: All deaths in cutscenes are final. Your party's White Magician Girl and/or Combat Medic (and thus the best healer(s) in the world) will also be completely unable to resuscitate the victim of said death even if she is right there and can do so otherwise during the heat of battle.

533. The quality of metal in weapons and armor depends on its value as decoration, not its actual metallurgical properties.

534. It's no coincidence that "eat" rhymes with "feet". Get injured? Walk on that food!

How — and when — do you tell a philosophy it's adopted? What do you do when it wants to meet its birth adherents?

539. Horses can walk straight up vertical surfaces.

541. Most buildings, including offices, factories, fortresses, hospitals and households do not include toilets or similar facilities, those who do only have them for decorative purposes

542. The ability to run continuously for several hours is relatively common, even for those who are out of shape

542b. Most people will run everywhere, rather than walk. Nobody will find this unusual.

543. If you're caught in a dress and heels during an outbreak which turns people into shambling corpses, just put a trenchcoat over it. Don't bother finding any boots. This attire will be fine for wading through sewers.

544. Sunglasses indoors at night are perfectly fine. Same goes for working in a lab (isn't that right, Wesker?).

545. Wading through raw sewage is gross, but there's no risk of suffering a fatal infection or sepsis (even if you're wounded), or being suffocated by built up gas.

548. Shopkeepers will be happy to buy all your things, even your broken weapons.

548a. Okay, maybe not all the time.
