So, many things are disputable within the realms. How are we supposed to determine what is true and what is not? Evidence based on stories? Incongruencies exist between books. Source material? Incongruencies exist between (canon, specifically) sources.
At this point, are we more or less saying something is true as long as we all agree upon it? What are the criteria? How are you supposed to apply first-principles thinking to something with no fundamental truths?

Please forgive my ignorance. Brother. What is this GHotR?
