It's all "What would my world do?"  The only time it isn't, is when there truly isn't a reason for why you did something.The in-fiction reason makes sense for 1982 or 2082.  A reason is a reason and if the world creation doesn't account for orcs, then it's anti-world building to include them.  You're doing the above and just throwing something into the world with no rhyme or reason for it being there.  That's not world building.  That's just arbitrary.</blockquote>
