If you didn't see the film as a fairy tale then you didn't see the film.
That's like watching E.T. and getting upset because finding extraterrestrial life on earth has never happened and so therefore, defies logic.
I mean, I understand that all movies have to stand up to realism in many regards(I'm the first to argue this), but in both E.T. and SDM, the entire world around the miracles are 100% realistic. The departures from reality take form in a run of events on a gameshow in SDM, and in the form of an alien in E.T.
Both are absurd outliers in a world that is 100% realistic, which is why we like both films.
Not sure what's so hard to understand about that.
