I certainly think so. The universe doesn't run on narrative logic. There is a consistensy of play that comes with simulationistic approach, that is not even the aim of narrative gaming.

"It happens because it fit's the story" is far from realistic. I know my life doesn't run like that, but I'm happy for you if yours is stimulating and entertaining all the time.
