Thanks, Yekke2. Good memory! (My subtitle is no joke.)

It’s not a p’sak, and as far as people holding of it,

in your experience, do the creators of material for frum

children appear to have taken this dei’ah into account?

Re-posting for others’ convenience:

“Even the talking lampposts on a Torah tape for children,

Reb Yaakov felt,lessened a child’s sense of the distinction

between truth and falsehood.”

-Reb Yaakov (ArtScroll)

So yes, it seems likely Reb Yaakov would think it was bad chinuch.

Another reason to think it might be more of a problem than exaggeration

is that exaggeration is not meant to mislead.
