CriticalResearchFailure is about when a show gets something wrong that is so inaccurate, even a layman would know it\\\'s wrong right off the bat. The page example is Calvin saying \\\"Bats are bugs.\\\" Nobody would need to have a lengthy explanation about \\\'\\\'why\\\'\\\' he\\\'s wrong in saying bats are bugs, we wouldn\\\'t need to discuss species categories, most people would just know for a fact that he\\\'s wrong. The fact that this CriticalResearchFailure entry has to go in-depth about why she\\\'s wrong, and that several people are \\\'\\\'asking\\\'\\\' if it\\\'s correct or not, says to me that this is not an example. I mean this specifically for the first part of the entry, since the second part (how can she not have mass and also exert mass) seems like just a logical PlotHole.
I do think it would fit better under ArtisticLicensePhysics, as it sounds to me that they were trying to use physics to have something in the story make more sense to the audience. The fact that they utterly failed is irrelevant to that, unless you\\\'re arguing that they \\\'\\\'knew\\\'\\\' that all their viewers would know they\\\'re bs\\\'ing it and yet put in that explanation anyway.
*Edit*: To address your other replies, I don\\\'t see it being relevant at all what genre of show this is. It used physics in its explanation, i.e. a real-life concept that can be fact-checked. If the show outright says that magic is what causes the physics to differ from real life, only then would it be relevant.
