Author, below, refers to the unnamed immortal who 'wrote' the PG information.
Changes in the rules are just that; rules changes. (Reasons swiped from Amber
Diceless)

1) The author may have been told wrong, and is honestly relaying what he
knows.

2) The author's judgement is tempered by his poetic temperment, hope, and
desire for things to be better than they actually are.

3) The author may have drawn improper conclusions, either from correct data,
or incorrect data.

4) The author might not know, and is guessing to preserve his credibility.

5) The author is deliberately lying.
a) to protect himself or others
b) to attack others
c) to protect his Tribe or Calling
d) to preserve alliances between the Twelve Tribes
e) because he'd be ridiculed or outcast if he contradicts the 'known'
truth
f) because the truth is rude or improper
g) his friendly neighborhood Scourge (or other credible figure) told him
he'd die or worse if the truth in a certain matter came out
h) he swore himself to secrecy in the matter
i) as some part of the Stratagem (which was still active when he wrote his
book), possibly to teach his students to trust no-one.

But the bottom line is, for my campaigns, there are rules and fluff. When the
two collide, the fluff is usually what gives way. Usually. But bad rules are
often found washed up on the riverbank of my campaigns, also.
