Personally, I don't discover value in an "effect" unless it explores 
a deep-seated and mysterious relation to the real.  It does seem like 
there is increasing confusion that art can be made with just 
imagination-- that is-- without foundation experiences. I tend to 
agree with Tom Clancy's distinction between fiction and reality, 
"Fiction has to make sense."   Rob D.
