The word "imposture" in literature has been wielded as a powerful marker of deceit and false appearance, often highlighting the divergence between outward claims and inner reality. In philosophical texts, such as those by Santayana, it is employed to critique systems and religious practices that betray an untruthful nature [1, 2, 3]. Meanwhile, dramatists like Congreve use the term to underline the cunning and sometimes malicious fabrications in social and interpersonal relations [4, 5, 6]. Authors also extend the notion to larger societal critiques, denouncing the performative or fraudulent aspects of institutions and ideologies—whether it be in the realm of science, religion, or art [7, 8, 9, 10]. Across these examples, "imposture" consistently serves as a metaphor for the pervasive presence of artifice, urging readers to question the authenticity of appearances in various domains of human endeavor [11, 12].
