I guess it would depend upon how well read one is.  All the old fairy 
tales are not very consistent.  You also have the world of Dungeons 
and Dragons, and of course Middle Earth.  All those authors control 
their own universe.  Even the Potterverse is inconsistent across 
the wide range of Fanfic.  

Does this make any sense?
