It does make for a convenient epithet when one wishes to ignore fact and cling to story-telling: "Oh, i won't listen to that fact because you didn't sugar-coat it just how I like it, or you put chocolate sauce on it instead of cherry, and you didn't get the frosting just how I like it". A good story is not constituted of righteous views or having someone asserting factual superiority... A "good story" is just a story. Facts are facts. "Asserting factual superiority" is a loaded presumption. - the Buddha of the Pali canon and other Buddhist writings are not like this either ????? You haven't read MN 38, have you?
