    Without being a bit crude, might I suggest you consider the differences between a "sports bra" and a "bikini top", and contemplate why the two garments are only superficially similar... both how much more the typical example of the former covers than the latter, and just why that might be...

    It is one thing to suspend your disbelief. It is another thing entirely to hang it by the neck until dead.

    Verisimilitude -- n, the appearance or semblance of truth, likelihood, or probability.

    The concern is not realism in speculative fiction, but rather the sense that a setting or story could be real, fostered by internal consistency and coherence.
