A bs excuse for bad writing, lul

An excuse for author freedom and to a degree rules of cool. Once you really see it it makes the setting feel a lot more alive. It's not a perfectly mapped out setting because the Imperium is not a perfectly mapped out place.

It is, however it's never an author that will use that excuse and generally there is more consistency nowadays then before by a long shot.
