I think you've missed the point. <modsnip> (Delusions are fixed beliefs that are not amenable to change in light of conflicting evidence--no one has argued this!) and away from your original misunderstanding of the definition of delusion, which was:It is within the laws of physics that the police are out to get Oscar so it is not considered a delusion.
The point I was making was 'physical impossibility' is not a phrase that is interchangeable with 'laws of physics'.
The laws of physics, by definition, are comprised of the sciences of energy, matter, motion, and force, not 'physical impossibilities' and/or statistics and logic, and despite the word physical having the root word, physic embedded within.
The laws of physics have little to nothing to do with the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders, least of all bizarre or non-bizarre delusions.
I'm not sure what DSM definition you've found that encompasses the phrase 'laws of physics'. I'm guessing it's not the definition for non-bizarre delusions, as you have repeatedly either denied the existence of non-bizarre delusions as being psychiatrically recognized (wrong!), or denied that you ever had the definition incorrect.
