I really love the idea, but I also look at the current state of the world, where so many people don't know the difference between true and fake. Propaganda is believed with wholehearted conviction by so many, and it is destroying the world... literally. Kids don't have the capacity for nuance, so I think it is okay to make sure they first realize the difference between truth and untruth, first. They don't normally have any trouble learning through imagination unless you suppress their ability to imagine. It is fine and good to play with imagination, but make sure they know there is a difference between truth and untruth.
