There are no universal truths
here and context is more important than many would like to admit in their understanding of others' viewpoints.

There _are_ universal truths. Some questions are unanswerable
because Wolfe didn't think of them while writing. But there are
single answers to many open questions. But, I affirm, the same tests
cannot deduce them all. And sometimes...well, I always offer as an
example the question about why Auk kidnapped Hyacinth and why he let
her go. <br>
<blockquote>
<p>22. <i>Why did Auk ... kidnap Hyacinth, and why, subsequently,
did he let her go?</i> – Because Tartaros had told him to
bring a woman. He released her as he recovered from his brain
injury, was able to think more clearly, and realized that
Hyacinth was not the woman he should bring. (Putting it another
way, he released her because Tartaros told him to. These answers
are not as disparate as they may appear.)</p>
</blockquote>
Wolfe's answer to that is not derivable from the text even after one
knows the answer. It must in every case have been guessed at before
Wolfe provided the answer. And, I believe, there are answers to
questions unsupposed in his answer--questions that could only be
arrived at from cryptic answers like this.<br>
