It is as if a ship captain should sail to India from the Port of London; and having brought a chart of the Thames on deck at his first setting out, should obstinately use no other for the whole voyage.” IfsShouldYearsFirstsWellsHas BeensWholeUseViewsIndiaTwentiesLondonSettingShipsSettingsProphetScoreFortySailCaptainsWiserVoyagesPortDeckBratThames Book:The Lantern-Bearers and Other Essays Source: The Lantern-Bearers and Other Essays

This strikes me as one way of avoiding opinionated fiction, and allowing your imagination a broader latitude.
