I put this in a response to a comment that became dead, so I'm reproducing it here: Fargo was presented as a "true story", which it wasn't. Yet nobody ever dismissed the Coen brothers as "fabricators". My theory is that in art, as in most things, you're either "in" or "out". If you're in, you can do anything with impunity. If you're out, your every actions will be scrutinized and you will be forgiven nothing. This whole article smells of virtue signalling, and I have an issue with that.
