Sinew's parentage

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Hi, this is my first post here, and it's a shame I don't have time to
say more :)

"... Within that point of light [the Whorl] Sinew had been conceived,
in all probability, in the Calde's Palace.  It did not seem possible."

In all probability. It did not seem possible. Especially by wolfe
standards, this doesn't seem like very good evidence to place Sinew's
conception. With so many things the narrator is certain of being
false, how can we use as fact the conjectures even he doubts? I think
all this quote tells us is that Horn doesn't actually know when Sinew
was concieved.
