Roger McCarthy says, inter alia:

This is a controversial topic, as Greg has made several utterences that aren't 'consistent', to wit that don't translate to the RW (or I should say rather, the Earth) with a single kludge-factor. Thus, people continue to fight over it. (Not that the 'thus' in that sentence is really either here or there.)

Specifically, he's said that human gestation really is still 40 weeks (i.e. 5 seasons, a whole year less one sacred time), and that a year is 'equivalent' to a RW year, in terms of aging, etc. Possibly this is just a symptom of Greg being like the British Isles weather, or maybe that's the way it really is: who knows?

Cheers,
Alex.
