[Ben Wafer] True, but the Illithiad pretty much flat out says that
Astromundi is wrong (although since the Illithiad is written as an
in-universe scholarly work, it actually says that the "Astromundi
Chronicles" are wrong).

[Ben Wafer] That's a possibility, but to be honest, I prefer the Illithiad's
explanation.

[Ben Wafer] Yeah, I really don't think we need a definitive answer right
