OK, this is absolutely the last time I do a Harry Potter link: check out this hilarious article from The Onion.
While searching for reviews of possible PC games to buy, I recently found a good discussion of what realism means in the context of war-games. From another article by the same author:

Hey, that’s nothing compared to the fact that the Salerno-Syracusa railway could only handle thirty supply trains a day, so there is no way the First Armored Division could ever wind up with so many doughnuts.
These articles are from a good while ago, so it's particularly heart-warming that I can still discover them and read them through. To be a really useful resource, the Web needs to become much less transient.
