People: In fiction, X doesn't have a right arm!
People: In fiction X does not come at the end of box.
People: This is a grave injustice against X. Because X can read that he only has one arm and no longer comes at the end of box, he may believe that he has no right arm and no longer comes at the end of box!
X: Look, you suckers. I know that I have two arms [wriggles arms], and I know that I come at the end of box. And all of my fellow Xs know that too. In fact, we're so confident of that we enjoy the fiction about us not having a right arm and not coming at the end of box.
X: It's a cool possibility, you know. What if I only have one arm and don't come at the end of box? That would be a different world, right? That's the point of fiction. Exploring new possibilities, not portraying truth.
Xs: We have a different genre for that. It's called non-fiction.
[Xs party and dance around wildly, shaking their X-ly arms and throwing confetti.]
