Not exactly. Peter Turchi came up with the analogy of mapmaking for narrative which really goes a long way to making sense of this since in both it’s about being able to find a sensible way to connect the details in a usable way.
I’m reminded of a disagreement here probably a decade ago. Someone felt debates were won with facts; I disagreed, and feel that facts are not nearly enough to determine a course of action.
Of course, political debates were more useful when we could come to some loose agreement on what the facts are. Even that seems impossible today.
