Guys, remember one thing - this is a game. Not real world. In real world if you're hit by the big boulder falling from the sky - you're dead. Stop making arguments like "it's unrealistic". Games are unrealistic, they were unrealistic, and they will be. Because they're games.
Sitting still in fire/poison being harmless but walking through them can basically vaporize you isn't intuitive. Unintuitive things tend to bother people for pretty obvious reasons.
In this case it sounds like the actual intended word was unintuitive and not unrealistic.
However
everything about D:OS is unintuitive and it's one of the weaker points of the game.
