Legend
Yes, that's the point, you can imitate their behaviour, but you cannot actually think like them. You are "wearing a funny hat". I'm pretty sure someone who might actually die whilst fighting a dragon would behave rather differently.I am not actually a halfling, but I am also not a fantasy human from a land where magic is real and who has completely different life experience than me. But I can pretend to be either.
Of course, halflings are a bit of a special case. They where invented by Tolkien as people who think like a Tolkien.
