When I look at cultures they are inconsistent because they were made by lots of people, many striving against the limitations of their own culture and different people within that culture have had different ideas; all cultures among other things have misfits and pressure valves. Consistent cultures like Star Trek's Planet of the Hats are simply lazy world building, only really useful for one shots. And even if we look at life then to quote Jurassic Park "Life will find a way". It doesn't always find a way but the process of evolution is basically throwing everything against the wall and seeing what sticks. And even if we look at eyewitness accounts they aren't terribly reliable.</blockquote>
