Something you have to remember is that the Wandering Scholar is one man, working with exceedingly limited data: some of which could be exceptions to a rule, or outright fabricated by some of the subjects of his interviews. If this were a scientific process held up to our own standards, he'd need much larger sample sizes, he'd have to never be observed by his marks, and he'd need extensive peer review, all before he could even consider publishing. In an MGE roleplay I'm currently doing, some refer to the Encyclopedia in-universe as "the Wandering Scholar's Big Book of Perversity."
