That's a great way of putting it, too, and a great example. There's a point at which you're introducing change from your own source by not including more diversity, which is the total opposite of "if you've done thing, you can do anything."
Total agreement on ASOIAF, too. There are hiccups where he essentially denies that his choices are choices rather than depictions of history (lalala child brides w/ early consummation are just historical accuracy!! uh...no), but by and large, it is creative and well-developed and complex and JFC so much that's a mess. A well-intentioned one, too, which has a very different flavour.
