But I do think it's a hint. With at least two meanings, off the top of my head.
A question. You said that Forrest said that ""comprehensive" knowledge of geography is required."
He said it could help, not that it was required, if memory serves me correctly.
Are you interpreting something to get to that "required?"
1) What other published poem are you referring? The original is in TTOTC. I prefer to go with the original.
2) Geography, here is a quote: "Can hunters really get to the treasure location with just a good map, the poem, and a decent knowledge of words?
FF: I wrote the book for everyone who feels a sense of wanderlust. In your last question if you change the last word to geography, my answer would be yes."
"The only requirement is that you figure out what the clues mean. But a comprehensive knowledge of geography might help."
We can decide for ourselves whether that is a requirement or not. His insistence on changing a word to geography is with purpose, so in my opinion it cannot be ignored and the example I have provide certainly makes sense of that statement.
Comprehensive Knowlege is using something that doesn't clutter your view... For example when using Google Maps I have found that using topo maps you can see who Brown is. Bare with me and again only in my opinion, Comprehensive is used as meaning enough to be able see and know what you see.
Next is enough Knowledge (correctly used this time) goes to what any searcher just read as a part of their research for the solve is correct. Not taking anything read for fact in books or (especially) the internet. Wiki and all the other Wikis are just words on a page. The Knowlege now is not used correctly and the gets reader/searcher going in the wrong direction. CLUE CLUE CLUES are what these are to getting the solve correct. "Brave and in the wood" is using Citations (Brave) or Footnotes (in the Wood) to verify what you have just read or Knowledge is correct.
I HAVE FOUND BOTH VERY HELPFUL FOR ME in my search. Sad for me to say, I have not taken enough time to learn how to use the Citations on all the Wikis to correct the vast number of errors I have found during the search. I applaud Wiki for at least knowing that all information they have available is not correct and have ways to correct it. With books and other digital information is basically given as fact.
Again, just my opinion and this is what this Forum is for...helping all searchers in their Chase. I would appreciate any help in teaching me how to correct errors on Wiki. Getting deep into how things are done on the computer is where my Knowlege ends.
