It's all about suspension of disbelief in film making and writing. IF your audience ( the viewer or reader) can't figure out how they would fit into the story then the story falls short. The audience must be able to buy into what ever it is you're selling be it on the screen or in print. Relevancy is key for the suspension of disbelief. Your audience first has to believe that what you're telling them is possible. IF the audience can't make that connection you've failed them. I completely understand your point about relevancy.
