The Paradox of Non-Fiction
/One may discover there is more truth in a fiction story than in some documentaries.

Well, I'm sure glad that has been put to rest. Now we can move on to greater things with which to occupy or minds. No, wait. I'm sorry, but I do expect non-fiction to be as honest as it can be translated into words. Okay, now we can move on.
