To ask this is definitely against HN guidelines and feels like motivated reasoning. I was posting to enhance the discussion of your points and those of others, not as some kind of takedown. Your responses by contrast feel to me like trying to score internet points at the cost of the discussion itself. We’re on the same team, aren’t we? Why the hostility?

That isn’t really consistent with how the term plot armor is commonly and colloquially used. Please try Steelmanning more. You’re being extremely dismissive in my opinion, and I can’t see why.
The links I posted are explanations of the term plot armor, and are not exclusive or exhaustive.
