I get out plenty Keith. But I don't have time to speculate on what fictional characters, or even worse fictional representations of real characters, might have thought, felt, said, dreamt or eaten, when the authors of said fiction didn't write it down, and are now too dead to ask.

Little Hawk, therein lies the problem. Stuff in a book of fiction is not experienced, it is made up. It is nothing to do with real life. It may be entertainment, but it isn't real life.
