Rough question. Remembering that I think in RQ terms, the answer might be: abolish the Divination spell (and most direct contact with the gods). It still makes no sense to me that one can ask Yelmalio questions ("Are you the god worshipped by the Aldryami as "Yelmalio"? and "Are you the god called "Elmal"?) and get different answers, depending on *one's own opinion at the time*. Oh, abolish heroquesting, too.
What I'm saying is that I can accept ambiguity in historical data recorded by subjective observers. Ambiguity in philosophical debate is inevitable.
Ambiguity in *direct experience of the world*, however, I find as repugnant as Einstein did. (Yes, I know he was wrong.)

Here you perhaps miss my point. I'm annoyed at recent Gloranthan
sources *precisely because* they don't support this version, the way
the older (Jrusteli-influenced) stuff did.
