Is that sarcasm? A "You know so much more than 'we' do!" in-group kind
of thing? Clearly Kirsten didn't, because of the definition she
appeared to be using in trying to classify "Stranger". It does seem
that a great many people don't, and I had that definition pounded into
my head in a college Social Anthropology class. I think people get it
in Sociology, too.

Kirsten absolutely knows why a myth is. And she was right--by how you classified Stranger, most of Western lit could be considered a biblical allegory.

Things have changed since you were in college, I think. I know they've changed since I was in college. Thing is, I keep up to date with what I'm interested in.

Also, no sociology class talks about mythology. That's religion and/or anthropology.
