One more note. One should not be too specific in identifying the object. It’s okay to call it “iPhone” based on a logo, but waiting for a shot of the home button and taking a ruler to measure its length as compared to a palm in order to identify it as, say, “iPhone 6S” would be a complete waste of time and, likely, deleted in the end.

As a negative example, we had an edit conflict regarding the specific model of tanks used to shoot down a Racnoss Webstar in The Christmas Invasion. Some tank experts could not agree which model it was. But a tank layman like myself could not evaluate their arguments, and for the story it made zero difference. It was a tank, is all.

This comes back to the primality of the plot. Real-word knowledge (RWK) contradicting the plot of the story is not allowed. RWK irrelevant to the story should be considered very carefully. Same goes for too many details in RWK.
