Okay, \'\'Science of Discworld III\'\' does open with the words \
to:
Okay, \\\'\\\'Science of Discworld III\\\'\\\' does open with the words \\\"Discworld is real\\\". In context, though, this means it works the way humans \\\'\\\'think\\\'\\\' the world does, making it subjectively realer than [[RealityIsUnrealistic a world that refuses to]]. (And also in the context of explaining that Roundworld \\\'\\\'isn\\\'t\\\'\\\' real, and only exists on a shelf in Unseen University.)
But the intro to \\\'\\\'The Discworld Companion\\\'\\\' has a bit about the curious fact Stephen Briggs knows more about Discworld than Terry: \\\"We discussed the psychology of this and decided that, since I\\\'d invented the places and characters, a sanity pocket in my brain prevented me from thinking of them as facts\\\". Which suggests someone who has little truck with the \\\"Discworld is real in any sense\\\" theory himself, but is prepared to accept it from other people.
I\\\'ve heard a lot of \\\'\\\'fans\\\'\\\' suggest it (myself included), but that\\\'s LiteraryAgentHypothesis.
