While Dubourg and Baumard argue that predisposition toward exploration draws us to fictional environments, they fail to answer their titular question: "Why Worlds?" Research in pretend play, psychological distancing, and theatre shows that being "imaginary" (i.e., any type of unreal, rather than only fantastically unreal) makes exploration of any fictional world profoundly different than that of real-life unfamiliar environments.
虽然迪布尔格和鲍马尔认为对探索的倾向将我们吸引到虚构环境中，但他们未能回答他们标题中的问题：“为什么是世界？”关于假装游戏、心理距离和戏剧的研究表明，“虚构”（即任何类型的不真实，而不仅仅是奇幻的不真实）使得对任何虚构世界的探索与对现实生活中陌生环境的探索截然不同。
