The moment you become a storyteller and inevitably take more than one point of view, there is really no way back to just one believable dominant one. The ability of storytellers, just like actors (which we all basically are if we want to be), to do multipolar viewing and framing is what makes us human. We are even capable of adopting deviant levels alongside the horizontal and vertical ones, commonly referred to as "meta". The storyteller learns through his creation that he cannot remain one-sided if he wants to illustrate a conflict.
I also agree with the experience that everyone, however, goes back to a certain position that is closer to him than another in moments where it matters in his daily interpersonal experience.
Here, everyone wants to be able to act according to their own conscience, because nothing is worse than having to act against oneself - the only real authority - and the outside world negates this. He'd hurt his human dignity and I think that is something not to be underestimated in its consequences of social matters.
From my point of view fiction and art are the most intelligent means to meet this issue, for it acts vicariously as an "as if" situation and supports to open minds and hearts.
I know this from my professional practice where I created with my clients "as if" scenes and we acted them out. That prevented us from having to take a firm stance without even having touched the deeper dimensions behind every humans soul.
