What you are saying is that the method is more important than the 
message. I can't accept that. Fiction often informs more about reality 
than fact. That sounds like an untrue statement, but it is not because 
  we filter all information through our perceptions. One's perceptions 
may very well not be in line with empirical reality.

If a snap does not contain enough information to tell the story, perhaps 
   the augmentation of fiction can. During my life, I have learned more 
about human nature from Shakespeare than from Freud.
