Lore questions about Miqo'te

And that statement clearly isn't talking about his crazy talk, because she says prisoners in general will do/say anything to keep their minds occupied.

Not quite so clearly, actually.

I've never seen anything quite like it. Of course, I make it for nothing more than the maniacal ravings of a cellcrazed, sweatytoothed madman.

Since she goes on, still using "it" as the subject, I doubt she's talking about his longevity as "the maniacal ravings of a [...] madman". Sure, it might just be poor grammar use, but... "Poor grammar" is not going to be my assumption when playing an official game.

Word of God (Fernehalwes) just said that you were mistaken and made a poor assumption... His life span is an anomaly.

Quite possibly, but I'd still argue that in-game information trumps out-of-game information. Like I said, it might be just poor wording. Gods know it's tricky to proofread your own texts because your brain tells you it's obvious what it means (because you know the intention), when an outsider can tell you it can be interpreted in several ways, and only one of those is the way you intended.

You can even make the case that there was no surprise because a) Black magic is forbidden and unknown so that may just be how he expanded his life this is crazy!!

Wait... You're saying that there'd be no surprise/shock because it's not supposed to be possible.


Aaaanyway, this is a complete aside from the thread topic in general.
