@alice@GrittyLipids@bookstodon@histodons@SusanHR One interesting thing about the case in this book: the author asked for names and dates, then traveled to investigate them. Some of the history was valid but the names did not exist.
If the entities can get facts, why did they lie, and then make excuses when he came back and confronted them?
Maybe they are forbidden from knowing certain things.
Or maybe they deliberately lie to drive off the skeptical, while recruiting the credulous.
