If your point is that consumption of fantasy renders us incapable of distinguishing reality from fantasy, or that first-hand experience is required to write, for example, a great war novel that rings true with veterans, and that knowledge acquired through other means (including fiction) can never suffice, even (and especially) when artfully infused with imagination and empathy, then I vehemently disagree.
Curious. I think I am going through something like this right now. I mean, things I haven't directly experienced inspiring me to do experiences. I've got an idea for piece linking together Mass Effect's influence on me, filtered through Sagan and deGrasse Tyson, then applied to recent revelations in the news. It'll probably be up on my blog at some point. Would you care to read it?
