Let me clarify myself even further (Matt's face is turning an unpleasant
shade of red)!  While most of the great legendary characters began from a
loose oral tradition, by the time we reached the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, scholars and publishers had agreed somewhat on what
stories were cannon and what stories weren't.  SO there was something of an
official version for a little while.  Yes?  At any rate, even if you
disagree with me here, your point would prove my earlier point that the
ducks are certainly not analogous to the classic characters of legend.

I swear that this is all very clear in my head, and I am not making up
anything as I go along!
