Neil Gaiman once put it this way: "Life is always going to be stranger than fiction, because fiction has to be convincing and life doesn't." Yes, this is actually a problem, at least for me; Corwin's supernatural gifts are actually more plausible to me than the idea that anyone could be ... well, as Gryph's spirited defense upthread states. In many ways, Corwin is too perfect -- he just isn't believable to me. I don't have an agenda here; I'm saying that the relationship skeeved me out, both in its potential back when SotS started, and when it became canon. It was much later that I managed to articulate why. "Mathematics brought rigor to economics. Unfortunately, it also brought mortis." - Kenneth Boulding
