What is a "plot hole"?
A plot hole is a gap or inconsistency in a story's plot that creates confusion or undermines the narrative's logic. It often involves missing information or contradictions that disrupt the flow of the story and make certain elements or events seem implausible or unresolved. Plot holes can affect the believability of the narrative and can detract from the overall coherence and effectiveness of the story.
Example

Critics seem to carp endlessly about plot holes no one else even notices.
At first, I thought the movie was amazing, but on second thoughts, I realized it had many plot holes and inconsistencies.
