Let me restate this for clarity. Glorantha has a truth to it - there are facts, there are ways in which it works. However I do not believe the fundamental truths are quantifiable. In other words, I do not believe it is possible to reduce the basic truths of Glorantha to mathematical formulae the way science seeks to for our world.
There are cultures in Glorantha that disagree, and there will be
Gloranthas where my view is wrong. However, I made this decision for my
own Glorantha because for me it is the most fun.
In other words, Mikko and I are not actually disagreeing.
