That's the thing, what are the rules? I don't think we could even settle on them if we tried!
The setting is really inconsistent and undefined in a lot of places. If we tried to make a compendium of all the "rules" it would degenerate into endless arguments. Why? Because the devs arn't thinking of RP and lore consistency when they write this material. They don't make these games for us unfortunately (and it would probably be a financial flop if they did, so I don't blame them).
I favor things "making sense" as well, but I quickly realized that getting a consensus about it is going to be damn near impossible.
Interesting theory about Hildebrand, but I think it's just as likely he's comic relief that they didn't put very much thought into.
