That was not my point. I agree with every word you said. The distinction is that if we, as players, decide that something is True about Glorantha, then it is so for all Gloranthans. If a Gloranthan decides somethign is True about Glorantha, it might or might not be, and it could be proven or disproven by heroic action.
Wisely, many of the answers we as a community generate to questions like "What is the nature of the gods?" are along the lines of "The Orlanthi think X; the Lunars think Y; and the Lunars won the last big battle where this mattered." rather than "The True nature of the universe means that the Lunars are objectively fooling themselves."
