    Great! Can’t have myths about random fruit in this otherwise totally valid, reasonable and trustworthy story about a woman that was made from a man’s rib and talked to reptiles.

          Sorry, I wasn’t explaining myself well.

          Just because a story isn’t factually true, doesn’t mean that it has no value, or negative value. There are other types of values which can supersede factual value:

          • aesthetic
          • symbolic
          • ethical
          • didactic

          Truth isn’t always about facts. Sometimes factual statements can be used as a weapon of deceit.

            There are other types of value, of course. It’s just funny to specifically call the apple out for being a myth. The entire story is a myth, so they could have made it a pomelo for all I care.
