Oh, you can't, obviously. The only advantage the RW has, and it's a very slight advantage, is that there are, in theory at least, things that *can't* be explained by the standard world-view, and if these are encountered, some change of mind has to occur. You won't, after all, find many people today explaining a weeping statue as "oh, it's just magic". There are, in theory, things which are "impossible". In Glorantha, nothing is impossible. Sherlock Holmes would have hated it :)
