I'd like to submit:
Fiction is one writers imagination and not necessarily fact or even pointing to fact. Fiction is not science. Fiction can do more harm than good. As evidence, let me remind every one of the heart ache the movie Bambi created for those of us who have a serve deer depredation problem. I've heard more than once, "You killed Bambi's Mother."
