I'm not sure it defies reason. If you take a child and place him in a blank room and tell him to play, they will have trouble playing and will get bored. If you take that same child and place them in a room with a bunch of complex toys they will probably use those toys in pretty normal ways. But if you take a child and put them in a place where there aren't "traditional" toys (toys they're used to, objects marketed as toys) they will use their imaginations to make a block of wood a car, or a house, or something else. So in that same sense, if you take an adult and tell them to imagine it is 2003 in a blank room it's going to be difficult. And if you do the same in a room that is filled with things from today it will also be difficult because they will be trying to force objects from post 2003 to fit into a 2003 mindset. But finally, if you put them in a room filled with things from 2003 they will be able to use their imaginations much more effectively to enter a 2003 mindset. For the record, these are just my thoughts on the matter.
