Sure it is. When foreigners intrude on a local told-for-true culture, they easily switch to explaining it in more explicitly symbolic/fictional terms. The suspension of disbelief is shallow and kinda instrumental. Like Huizenga’s play.

One exception. Any role to which idea of a “killer instinct” applies is emic. Lawyers, soldiers, sports pros. If you die or kill in simulation you die or kill in real life. Even if it’s only social death. 100% skin in the game =100% emic. Hence taleb vibes for “told for true”
