So, the names, figures, places, sounds, and everything one can imagine about that scene are identical, but still, the two imaginary processes are not identical? How do they differ, davem?

Does that mean that nothing precludes "naturally identifying moral or religious elements" when a book is read merely as a fantasy novel?
