Coincidence is a recognized element in 'real life.' All of us have anecdotes about those times when, by the merest coincidence, we avoided some disaster or stumbled onto some wonderful experience.

Being on a movie set is wonderful experience, but it's a bubble - it isn't real life.

It's a wonderful experience to look at our Earth.

I loved being in the Senate. That was a wonderful experience.

Individual’s real experience should be counted with the number of immutable decisions he makes and made in the first take only rather the cumulative years shown in his personal dossier or professional profile.

When a writer is already stretching the bounds of reality by writing within a science fiction or fantasy setting, that writer must realize that excessive coincidence makes the fictional reality the writer is creating less 'real.'
