That's also what I was trying to point out. Everything we know about supernatural beings are based on books, movies, TV, or video games and not science or logic. If we relied solely on science or logic, we wouldn't have supernatural beings. If George Romero says you can stop a zombie by severing the spine, then so be it. But if he says they can only be stopped by destroying the brain, that's also binding. He also says zombies are slow. But his zombies are only one type of zombies.

The "rules" don't have to make sense. You can shoot a werewolf in the head at point blank range, but unless it's a silver bullet, it won't stop it. Vampires are repelled by garlic, but not onions, potatoes, or cilantro. You can stop a vampire with a crucifix, but not a regular Latin cross, Greek cross, or a Star of David.
