Спасибо!
neutral Jim Tucker (X) : Yes, this is correct -- but *not* "facts" / Yes I see that -- but I don't think this entry should go into the glossary as is. Agree though.

Jim, as I noted in my explanation, "facts" should not be used. /Thank you, Jim. You are right - "facts" should be removed.

all situations are imaginary

all the events are rendered fictitiously

факты не могут быть вымышлены: факты, по определению, - реально происшедшее.
Оригинал, здесь, - сам по себе плохая (и довольно установившаяся в русском) калька с романских языков, где, однако, “фатто“ - не только “совершившееся/совершенное/содеянное“, как в русском, но и “акт“/“событие“ и даже “дело“

all the facts are invented

.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Jim Tucker (X) : "Facts" is a false friend with факты; if they're invented, they're not facts. // Well you could use scare quotes I guess -- but the word still means something different from the Russian.

Invented facts, not real uns
disagree Angela Greenfield : Джим абсолютно прав, это ложные друзья переводчика. По-английски так нельзя сказать. Если "not real", то в английском языке это уже не факт.

В русском языке тоже уже не факт, однако в исходном тексте написано именно так. И именно так и передаем в переводе!
disagree Natalie : В исходном тексте написано "вымышлены", а не "изобретены" - почувствуйте разницу
