This definition makes no distinction between factual and speculative, and in fact invites speculative use with the second point. Additionally, there's a long history of using the word "explore" in this exact type of situation.

Anyway, the point is, don't be such a wet blanket, plz.

I just don't think some fiction is reliable source of information.

And I can't see in the definition the meaning you are implying. You're overstretching it.

it's unwise to take literary advice from someone that uses words without taking the time to learn their definition

Are you speaking of yourself? Read definition of "to explore", please.
