Isn't the position  "only P and there is no  ^p and it is just a
convention" an assumption?  Using this assumption proving non-duality is
indeed begging a question.

Even though its content is not true,  the imagination itself is true and
conceived by him in a specific given dEsha-kAla. At the end we left with P
(George Lucas) and his true imagination (^p). This is not a good example as
it allows duality of kartu-karama, which Shankara ill-offered to admit in
Brahman.
