In fact, I am literally surprised, since my critique said the exact OPPOSITE of what you were implying: that heavy attention to detail has caused you to paint yourself into a corner.
Space pending further critique!
I think what ryuu is trying to say is that it doesn't matter since it was never meant to be accurate in the first place.
You can argue till the end of the earth about how an anvil makes a bad flotation device, all the reasons why that is and all the things you can do to rectify it but that's just missing the bigger point that an anvil was never meant to be a flotation device (to make a shitty analogy from the top of my head).
But the reason is, why strive for all that accuracy? It's not necessary, and if you want to do something fun with the Avali, you consciously have to ignore it. The biggest point is the fanart. You can easily see how divided and inconsistent the art is, as it just expresses an obvious sign, the biggest issue with the Avali: It's way too narrow and patchy, a self contradictory mess. Nobody but him dug this pit. Blaming others for the direction of his lore is a pretty big sign as to what the problem is. Anyways, wait and see. My post above will be edited with a lot more context and some actual feedback this time.
Harshest critic of the Avali. An idea that never changes is a truly dead one.
