Oh, oh, and also! Given that these are (for the most part) societal constructions of reality, it would stand to reason that every time they were re-interpreted as the constructions changed (think... oh, I don't know, "God" two hundred years ago, versus "God" now), the plots changed too. Making them infinite, rather than limited. :)
