(Okay, now I'm morbidly curious to see this discussion you speak of.)
Totally with you on the modeling, consistency, and trust issues.
Good point that I hadn't thought of about the reality/fantasy divide and children's (re)actions thereto.
And yes, stories are powerful and that can be great, but knowing the difference between fact and fiction is key. And storytelling and lying are not the same.
Agreement? Wow!
