i think being powerful means you can change the physical state of the world and also change what people think about it. if you do something physically big, and tell a big story that purports to explain it, then any opposing story which seeks to undo that thing, however big, will eventually sound untrue, so long as the thing persists. the contradiction of "thing exists, but the story says it shouldn't exist" requires more mental energy to sustain than "thing exists, and the story says it should"
