Hi,
Just wanted to add my 2 cents:
- that's exactly what documentarians do. They want to tell a story, because just reciting events and statements in their natural order is boring to watch for most of the people. Simulations and theories in documentaries are nothing else - they try to tell a story. Even documentarians need audience, you know, otherwise they'd be underground/independent film makers. And then they wouldn't have the slightest chance to win an Oscar or the 'Palm D'Or'. ;)
But let's be honest, since this is a hotbutton-issue, and none of us seems to convince the other, why don't we just drop the topic? Just a suggestion.
Greetings, Fragbait
