Huckster gonna huck and Nick be a-huckin’. What’s for sale exactly? Let’s do a level set. Rule of thumb: everything is putative. Here’s how it works:

Compare figmentarianism to a courtroom trial. So-called fact is beside the so-called point. Each party perpetrates its own narrative around some “event” alleged to have “occurred” outside the scream radius of the contenders. A judge gavels it, the lawyers take, justice is the figment, and Bob’s your uncle.
