"Modified" puts the expert and the bullshitter on the same team, and conscripts the expert into fleshing out the bullshitter's lies.

Yes, writing is *lying*. Storytelling is genuinely *weird*. A storyteller who has successfully captured the audience has done so by convincing their hindbrains to care about the tribulations of imaginary people. These are people whose suffering, by definition, *do not matter*. Imaginary things *didn't happen*, so they *can't* matter.
