The last sentence in your post is really silly because it's like saying if I can't prove that God doesn't exist he must exist, as if the alternatives offered were mutually exclusive and one or other had to be true which is nonsense. Look: Janet got wet in her shower; MC and Clare got wet in the river after getting muddy; nobody got wet after being sucked under water by a subterranean whirlpool and swept into Sofia's mansion. That is the very definition of game inconsistency because it implies that in ToN liquid water can wet people in some locations and not wet them in other locations, without signaling that such a thing is possible in that game world beforehand to players! Not one of the characters swept into Sofia's mansion commented on their dryness after leaving the torrent nor was any other influence, natural, magical or supernatural, cited to explain why none of them were soaked as had always been the case in ToN for all characters drenched before.
