Ironically, all the technobable and forcefull adherence to the Laws of Physics has only resulted in everything making less and less sence.

Is it because I discover unpleasant truths?
Actually, its more because you label things that clearly happen in the anime (Barrier Jackets shielding wearers from getting chukked through reinforced concrete) as 'impossible' and use that as a base to completely demolish everything on that base. You start contradicting things on the sole base that they would be 'impossible' according to the Laws of Physics.

This does not work for anime, or many other settings that use fantasy ellements. Nanoha is no exception, take Yuuno effortlessly transforming into a ferret and back again. Bye bye law of conservation of mass.

Explanations don't always need to adhere 100% to the Laws of Physics when an anime is about magic, a setting that in itself doesn't even exist, much less can be measured.
