My understanding of "every rule wrong" is that he meant "wrong" not in the sense of "incorrect" but in the sense of, "wrong by their very existence." Wrong like how the gardener is wrong. It just shouldn't be in our world, and is an abomination even if you never look at it. But I agree it is a confusing wording. I think he was simply trying to scare people away.

Also, I may not have written this clearly enough. My face still hurts and the painkillers probably affected my clarity in completing this. Especially since I started this post such a very, very long time ago (days for you, a century for me). Maybe I should have added an endnote or something, but I am both Pim Perrin and Sam Miller. I pulled my (younger) self out of the bone closet. 26 year old me started this account and 126 year old me finished it. My face hurts very much right now...
