   Like I said, you can't trust her interviews, you can't trust anything   
   she wrote extra-text and you can't trust the text. There really isn't   
   a canon except for those parts of the text that are trustworthy. I'm   
   not interested in working a Simms diagram to ream out the crap from   
   the keep.
