True or False?

I think sometimes in certain circumstances, altering the truth is actually necessary in order to create a better work of art. A sand truth about a work of art is that is not how it was drawn or the value of it that counts, but how others criticize them. A good art work can simply be something that the public favored in general, and what was considered bad art work can simply be things that may be something that exceeds the public intelligence and profoundness. Now before you start throwing your fists in the air and prove me wrong, I'll tell you that does not go for all artworks, the literary ones especially. One hard thing about literary texts is the identification of which matters more? THe truth? Or the popularity? Do I want this novel to be truthful yet tedious, or interesting yet fake? This is a very hard decision, but the writers often go for the second choice. Since well, without sells, no writing. And again, this does not go for all cases. A famous example for altering the truth is an infamous chinese novel which English name I struggle to recall , but I think it's " The three empire war"??? Which is supposedly based on a chinese time period of chaos when three heroic figures rose from the bottoms of the endless pits China was in to unify their country. This novel, though very interesting, is not entirely based on fact but rather the reader's interests. Which is why this book is still a very debatable issue today. True or False? You make the decision.
