Re: This certainly makes a mockery of a lot that us 20-year long readers of Wot used to hold dear... dacole Send a noteboard - 24/04/2012 05:46:03 AM
Again as has been said. This obsessive attention to minor details is crazy and ridiculous and unimportant for the themes and major import of the story. As well I expect much of these type of answers Jordan was making up when asked. He did have to change things in the books to fit with his answers at some points.

The "science" of how things in the world work are far and away extremely less important than the characters, the themes, and how those characters and themes are handled.

I certainly haven't been "obsessing" for twenty years over how exactly strong each of the channelers is...I would be getting myself some help if I had been. There is being a superfan and then there is being Sheldon Cooper level crazy.
