Right. But my point was that in the thousands of years since, the Source in general has been working from the opposite premise when it came to the nature of tempering. Nobody is sure where that idea came from, but if even the Allagans believed it, then the misunderstanding likely spread worldwide. Basically, everyone in the world was trying to cure concussions under the idea that more blows to the head were the right idea.
