Answer: That familiars have been replaced by imposters

Capgras Syndrome, "I'illusion des sosies," was first described by French psychiatrist Joseph Capgras in 1923. In it, the patient insists that a friend or family member has been replaced by an identical duplicate. Early reports found CS more commonly in women than in men; in fact, it occurs equally in both genders. CS, as a delusional misidentification disorder, may be psychiatric or neurological. Physical damage to the bifrontal, right limbic, and temporal regions of the brain has been associated with CS. CS is sometimes called "the delusion of doubles." Capgras' term for it literally translates "the illusion of look-alikes." Dr Bennell's diagnosis appears to fit the symptoms of his patients who believe that family members have been replaced by look-alike impostors.

The writing credit went to Vittes.

Answer: He doesn't believe in sea monsters

The Tokyo Police are investigating a drug deal, a disappearance, and a series of murders. A ghost ship has washed into Tokyo Bay, its crew missing, and a group of invisible creatures from on-board has entered the city.

Answer: Frankenstein is the creator, not the creature.

In Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus" (1818), the creature sewn together by Victor Frankenstein is not named. In the original novel, the monster is identified as "creature", "monster", "demon", and "it."

In Therese M. Shea's book "Was Dr. Frankenstein Real?" (2018), she says, "... many people are surprised to know this monster's name is not actually Frankenstein. That's the name of its creator, Dr. Victor Frankenstein ..." Thomas DeMichele wrote in his on-line article "Was Frankenstein the Name of the Monster?" (FactMyth.com, 28 September 2015), "The monster created by Victor Frankenstein doesn't get an official name in the book. It's accurate to call him 'Frankenstein's monster', but not to call him Frankenstein." A sophist, particularly one with an advanced degree in literary criticism, might argue that the real monster in the Frankenstein myth was the scientist-creator of the aggregate man.
