[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 8994794, member: 6785785"] Well, neither one is more real than the other. One may be more realistic than the other, or resemble the real world more than the other. But neither is objectively a more real world. But more importantly, we're talking about two things that would otherwise be similar.
