Because the latter requires me to pretend that things that are unrealistic (in our world) are realistic (in that world)... i.e. to not avoid that sort of knowledge.I'm curious to listen to your thoughts on whether you would agree that the one (avoiding what I know to be unrealistic) blocks the other (pretending what I know to be unrealistic is realistic in the imaginary world)? In part, because there is ample room for semantic ambiguity in relation to these sorts of concepts.</blockquote>
