    Default Are you glad that Jin Yong's writing contains ambiguity and contradictions?

    By now it is no surprise that Jin Yong occasionally makes mistakes in his writing, resulting in contradicting and ambiguous details. Or perhaps he intentionally made it this way. At first this may seem like a bad thing. However, is it really? After all, if his novels were perfectly clear in detail, we'd have little to discuss about. So please, cast your opinion in this poll.

    I chose the first choice.

    A perfect novel sounds good. But in that case, we wouldn't have much left to discuss.
    How come the topics such as: who is the most beautiful..., who is the strongest..., who is the... etc. could have existed and brought us a lot of fun. .
