IMDB Keeps declining my contribution

I'm trying to post a contribution, a goof on the film Final Destination: Bloodlines to IMDB but it has been rejected twice without a logically or valid reason explaining why it didn't meet the so called guild-lines. Any idea why, because there's no swearing, abuse or anything even remotely rude or hateful so I'm baffled & a bit angry as to why it's been rejected twice now. Here's the contribution: "The way the MRI Machine works in the film is completely unrealistic to real life. For starters, MRI Machines are always on & never turned off. They also don't have overrides to them or a gauge to increase or decrease the magnetic strength. It's also that & the fact that they are in a room within a room specially designed because of their strong magnetic fields which are only strong when in close proximity (10-15ft away). It's also important to note, that most MRI Machines across the US alone have a Tesler Strength of either 1T - 3T. Even if it was possible for an MRI to be as strong as it was in the film, Erik at very best would've only have been pinned to the Machine & not be sucked in with the bars of the wheelchair piecing through him. It's also highly unlikely if it were possible, for an MRI Machine to be switched on so easily via a keyboard command & for it to have a "Do Not Exceed" limit on it." I honestly for the life of me can't see what's wrong with my contribution & why it's been rejected twice now.

So? Is there a reason as to why IMDB are choosing to be difficult?

Hello HorrorGuru94 The submitted contribution is not a valid Goof, this is not a section to submit a personal opinion as we mention in the Goof guidelines: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/goofs/GFDUF27RBTQGS8UZ?ref_=helpsrall# If this is a Goof, you can take a look at the guidelines and re submit with the correct format.

"The submitted contribution is not a valid Goof, this is not a section to submit a personal opinion as we mention in the Goof guidelines:" - Bit of the pot calling the kettle black don't you think? I could argue that that statement in itself is a personal opinion & not a valid reason to decline someones contribution. I also think you'll find that my submission is/was a valid goof & that IMDB are only declining it because they don't agree with it, ironic huh. It's not my fault that this page is too persnickety to understand that. Maybe a bit of guidance would've been helpful from the get go might've prevent this? That being said, I'm resubmitting it with some slight re-wording so IMDB don't cry because it doesn't follow their dumb guidelines.
