And THAT's the difference between creativity and contrivance.
Buk's was so perfect, it fooled everyone. Later, as things went downhill, it even fooled him.

What you read was the real Buk and the other was the persona.
This persona thing is amusing bullshit.
The actual contrivance is the "real person behind the persona".
That single/unique "real person" doesn't exist.
Each one of us is a composition of many selves all orchestrated by their individual experiences.
No one aspect of us is any more real than another.
