Knowledge could exist inherently in such fictional nonfiction by a sort of process of elimination, holmesian style. Only by eliminating the improbable can we be left with the truth, as such we must considerable all conjectures equally at first read. Only until all books/thoughts are shared openly will we be able to determine what is worth contemplating further.

There are times when the author knows his info is false. Look at Million Little Pieces. He claimed that was his true life story, yet, none of it happened. Also, look at propaganda. Shit that makes you believe something that someone else wants you to believe, regardless of if there is truth to it. Why do they do it? Power, money, and/or fame.
