Yes it does actually, because now we're involving the multiverse and 100 different people can claim to be privy to the "truth" about dragons but get them together and all of their stories will differ in some way. What's true to you isn't true to the next of that 100, and what's true to either of you certainly isn't true to everyone outside of that 100.

What's true to you isn't true to the next of that 100, and what's true to either of you certainly isn't true to everyone outside of that 100. Yes, but I think what Surge was getting at is that if one follows the theory of a multiverse with infinite possibilities, "Dragons" could be any number of things. In one universe, wyverns and dragons may be part of the same species, in another dragons may be called rabbits and be covered in long locks of hair with twelve legs and an alarmingly spherical body. Just because you say "Dragons are ___" doesn't mean that's true to everyone everywhere always, and you can't get all uppity because people don't call or do call something something else. I can go around calling people "dudebro" or I can name a cat "dog". People will get upset inevitably but that's how things work. How the hell did this discussion even start again?
