    But your acknowledgement of the fictional character of your post is also fiction... oh my...

    We must go deeper. Or must we? Is that not the greatest fiction?

    Why is it referred to as "non fiction"? The other day I bought a "non reference" book.

    because what else would you call it? 'factual', many of them are opinion, or criticism, or philosophy. I mean there are narrower genre's of non-fiction like memoir or biography or history etc etc. But what other term would you use for the entirety of non-fiction?

    a short history of nearly everything
    also
