Machina ex Machina

In the "Identity Crisis" episode of Suits on the USA Network a number of problems/challenges in the episode  are neatly resolved through the marvelous use of computers: banking systems are broken into, a university registration system is penetrated, and, as if that were not enough, the über cute über sophisticated female hacker is able to get an official graduation certificate printed and mailed.

I remember the late John Chardi saying that he drew a line in the text of a novel at the point in the story where the writer violated the contract with the reader.  A digitally equivalent gesture is needed for the broadcast when a hacker breaks into all the banks in Luxembourg and gets a printout of all the account records in each bank.  That all the printouts create a stack of folders barely a foot high would indicate incredibly thin paper, exceptionally tiny fonts, or technology sufficiently advanced so as to be mistaken for magic.  Or screen writers who expect the momentum of their story to overwhelm the viewers' common sense.
