I'm not sure we could prove any notion false by imaginarily engaging with imaginary laws in an imaginary setting. The only thing we'd prove is that we haven't bothered with all the possible legal implications of a particular set of imaginary laws, and are probably more interested in some roughly sketched social and adventure implications of a particular "weird society of the week".


*I may not have actually GMed for... over 2 decades? As such, said players are also in fact imaginary.
The 'setting' I refer to being the real world.
