Explicitly nonfictional stories would be better, though of course certain concerns apply to posting such information and it might be harder to find good examples.
disagreed. Using fiction to drive a point home works pretty well. And the examples illustrate and aehm illuminate their respective points. There is no need to take real life examples which would not be as illustrative.
I would rather have examples that better conform to reality than examples that are better characterizations of the principles in question.
