Or rather, everyone who knows a definite answer is wrong in some meaningful point. (This is probably the secret to the God Learners' failing...)

Not entirely, since IMO this myth is about explaining the absence of plate tectonics yet providing reasons for mountain ranges...
Also the Praxians have their myths about dragons vs. giants, even though people like Argrath don't believe them.
But then, as I said above, this opinion is most probably wrong in at least one meaningful point...
