Crawford says monk stuff ain't magic

[Max_Killjoy]

You've found glaring contradictions in all those settings? (Now that I think about it, I'm actually not surprised.)

The question keeps getting blurred, and I'd really like to keep it clear -- there are two separate questions:

1) Is the setting itself, as a fictional reality, internally consistent and coherent?

2) Are the system and setting in sync? Is the system a good "map" of the fictional reality? (I'm trying to avoid using "model" because that causes an entirely different discussion about models).
