Just as the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism determines the 'mood' of a series, this scale determines how much a particular series is unlike reality in relation to the natural laws, conditions and probabilities of RealLife. Stories also vary greatly in their realism of human behavior but that is a trope that yet needs to be created.

There are cases where the writers believe in something which most of the audience consider unrealistic, these should be judged according to the audience' standards, as no one knows exactly what a writer believes. There are cases of DidNotDoTheResearch. If it's obviously deliberate laziness the work deserves a place at the fantastic end, even if it's unintended.

There are also stories in which the precise cause of things is never delineated. Both a naturalistic and a supernatural explanation is possible.
