Been going through some of

ozarque 's back posts, and this set me to wondering...

if there were a language/culture in which lying/falsehood/untruth were impossible, could this society have fiction-writing?   

Would imagination be encouraged or discouraged or simply not? 

Would progress be able to occur?

Discuss.


(Of course, I'm working out my own opinions on this; they'll be added in comments tonight or tomorrow.  Probably before I read anyone else's to prevent "contamination.")
