Meyer could have saved herself so much trouble if she had just stuck with supernatural-based vampires. Trying to pass them off as "science-based" and then doing cheap handwaves right and left like Meyer does just makes her look dumb.

However, just because it's supernatural doesn't mean you can just get away with any inconsistencies; if you can't make a plot element work within the rules you've established for your fiction and use it anyway, it'll still come across as poorly written and out of place, even if it is fiction.
