(I point this out so nobody compromises their personal stances.)

That is absolutely true, but the fact remains that, in the realm of "officaldom" what Kishi writes comes tiers before ours. Our names, while they may serve the same purpose, are not his. We record his series, we use his names. That is all that needs to be said. What Rachin said is exactly why this mindset you're putting forth is a problem: Kishi's "flawed info"? He's the damn author. He makes mistakes, yes, most authors do. At the end of the day, though, this is his writing, his series, his boundaries, his rules. He drew up the arcs because he wrote them. We use his terms, his boundaries.

They need to be changed.
