It's always nice to be able to write your own "Get out of continuity free" card. I like that unlike some authors he at least tries to make slow changes to his characters, rather than pull the old "everything you know is wrong" crap, or worse yet violating the terms and conditions of his own world. ALthough I guess you could argue there really aren't any, other than the power of the narrative.
