Why does nobody talk about the guy who argued continuity errors ruin whole runs

At a con in Portland last spring, this older collector cornered me about a tiny inconsistency in an issue of X-Men from 1983 and said it made the Claremont run unreadable. He dead serious pointed to a panel where Cyclops wears a brown jacket instead of the tan one from three pages earlier. Has anyone else met a fan who can't enjoy a story because of one small mistake?

Man I used to be that guy who'd nitpick every little thing, but honestly over time I realized it's way more fun to just roll with the story and not sweat the small stuff. Now a tiny jacket color change barely registers with me unless it's something truly egregious.

@robin836 learned that lesson myself. Just let the story breathe and enjoy the ride.
