Anecdote:
Hubby & I are at a bookstore (last week.) In the religion section, facing FACE OUT to be easily visible, is a book DEBUNKING the Da Vinci Code and arguing it point by point.
Hubby picks up book, shaking his head:
"When else have you ever seen a book DEBUNKING a work of fiction before?" As if they thought the novel was supposed to be something other than a made-up story. It's a STORY!!!!! Would anyone publish a book debunking oh, say, Tale of Two Cities? Or Peter Rabbit? Point by point?
