What part of "this lame excuse has been refuted on this forum numerous times" you don't understand? Short version: I'm going to write a novel in which you appear as a murderous pedophile. Fiction, you shouldn't object. At the very least do try to refute the refutations. There are certain rules governing fiction writing, that you "it's FICTION, people" don't seem to be aware of, while the rest of us, whom you take for complete idiots, do. We can accept that it's fiction, we have (big surprise!) known it all along, and still protest and critique. D'uh Vinci Code violates these rules, while Gore Vidal's novel about Abraham Lincoln (and many other historical novels) doesn't. A little edumacation goes a long way.
You haven't refuted a thing. This book doesn't purport to be anything other than historical fiction.
