Indoctrination & Mental Gymnastics

Lek: Choosing to believe something you read is true, without justification other than "you can't prove it's not true" is the logical fallacy called an argument from ignorance. You can equally well apply it to any fictional book you like. I could say, "Can you prove these characters don't exist and the events didn't happen?" The honest answer will be no, because proving a negative is usually impossible. So by your reasoning, it's just as valid to believe every work of fiction is in fact true, regardless of whether the author admits this.
