I mean, a lot of people do that, no? It’s pretty much industry standard; you recreate events sometimes to get footage that _better_ represents to the average viewer what it was like than combat footage that might be zoomed out and technical and frankly, not very interesting.

It is like storytelling: a myth can be true even when it is not strictly speaking real. A holovid can depict real events even when not filmed in a real situation.

Using staged footage only becomes a lie if you use it to try and represent something that did _not_ really happen as being actually real, or if you make outright claims it is “filmed in real battle” when it is not.

Kind of like Scripture becomes problematic when you push it as _the_ truth, instead of _a_ truth, now that I think about it.
