This is a work of thinly disguised (or sometimes entirely undisguised) nonfiction, written as a dialogue. Usually these dialogues feature a MrExposition, who either [[CharacterFilibuster explains the topic]] to TheWatson or debates it with a StrawLoser. In either case, MrExposition's partner is supposed to be bringing up the objections or points of confusion that [[AudienceSurrogate the reader]] might have.
