Yep exactl.
Bastiat's analogy is even more accurate as in this case we can consider that Keynes and Krugman actually enjoy watching each other eating shit, so they respectively pay for that enjoyment, which could be counted as real GDP
The real problem comes when one of the parties involved in a transaction is forced to pay to watch the other eat shit, which is the case in the broken window fallacy...
