I'm a big student of belief so I appreciate the candour and sincerity of statements like this.
I get the feeling that regardless of the nature of event, it's the belief about it that is important to people.
That's how we have Cthulhu worshipping chaos magicians who are fully aware of the fictional nature of the Big C.
Given that fact and fiction are basically indistinguishable - any reporting of fact is basically a fiction of some kind, as seen by a certain observer, I think that lessons from fiction can be just as valuable.
