I have found that cold, hard facts are always the best way to express truth because they are truth by definition.

That’s a “modern, 21st-century mindset” I hear talking. Who are we to judge the literary methods of “truth-telling” of a distant culture from a distant past?

Why would typology be more powerful in any realm, especially the religious realm. The Biblical God can be quite brutally honest at times and then at others He allows 'literary license' to propagate his word? If God is all about us being factual and truthful, hard to understand why He would allow this to be abandoned in some books in the Bible. I submit the ancients would accept Gods word without the literary devices intimated in your comments. Truth is the straightest line to understanding and anything that deviates from it causes confusion.
