I have. It illustrates my point well. Everything that happens in that allegory points to the issue of interpretation, not reality itself. To us it was shadows on a wall, to them it was the totality of their experience. The one that got away learned that the shadows were just that and that there is a whole lot more out there if you are willing and/or able to encounter it.
