That's exactly why we need forgiveness. If you offer it, the fiction is retained. It's beneficence. If we allow a shitshow to happen where debtors default en masse or go on debt strikes (like many renters are doing already), the fiction's gone.
But there is a silver lining to that... When no on trusts anyone to pay anything, rates fly. We could use some high rates at some point.
