I don't argue that stories are very important, and they are in fact the only thing we have. But that does not make themselves Justified categorically. In fact my username, chain of fools, is the title of a song whose lyrics, although very brief, are very much about believing stories told with the motivation to do harm - or at very least to deprive others of something valuable so that the teller can have that same something cheaply.

"But that does not make themselves Justified categorically" Diamonds are the hardest objects found naturaly. While everything around them was crushed and changed ober the eons - they persisted. And if polished they shined. And can cut any other known material. It makes for a good story, which is why humans are after them, since a long time. Kings and queens wore them. Pirates stole and buried them. Is the story justified categorically? I don't know, but it is an old story. But personally I rather would like to have the sci-fi story, where diamonds are cheaply avaiable, as a very strong building material..
