Reference: X compared to Y = possible Discrepancy?

In Cold Days Bob does the whole movie thing with Merlin and the formation of the island.
What if wasn't just across multiple times - what if the discrepancy is on Bob's part and it was across time and dimensions --multiple overlapping dimensions.

If Im not mistaken Bob himself speculated at that point that it was Built in 4 dimansions, and most likely built in 5 or more (which means multiple/parallel dimension by normal Sci-fi parlance) but that it was difficult to tell that sort of thing without actually entering a 5th dimansional state and measuring them. So yes it seems likely, but I dont see a contraction...?
EDIT: Here's the passage I was thinking of:
--- Quote from: Cold Days ch 21 ---“Merlin didn’t build the prison five times,” Bob said. “He built it once. In five different times. All at the same time.”
I felt my brows knit. “Uh. He was in the same place, doing the same thing, in five different times at once?”
“Exactly.”
“That does not make any sense,” I said.
“Look, a mortal jail is built in three dimensions, right? Merlin built this one in four, and probably in several more, though you can’t really tell whether or not he built it in a given dimension until you go there and measure it, and the act of measuring it will change it, but the point is: This is really advanced stuff.”

Iam that kemmler:
Another discrepancy I haven't seen in this thread is the summoning circle
In SF it's Brass
In FM It's copper
In GP it starts as Brass on page 113 of the paperback when he's talking to Bob, but later in the book changes to copper page 200 - when he attempts to summon the nightmare.
I'm rereading book SK right now and the ring is back to copper - I'll update as I finish rereading the series.
In DM the ring is copper.

Just wanted to add, Thomas met Justine at Club Zero so that would put that place on a strong emotional connection.

But, again, it wouldn't fit the description of "gentlemen's club".
Hmmm... maybe the club he brought Michael out to just happens to be where Thomas was, when he first learned that his long-lost little brother had moved to Chicago and opened an investigation business there?

--- End quote ---
Inanimate matter penetrating an empowered circle can only break it if the individual who applies that matter wills it to do so. We saw that way back in the first book's introduction of magic circles, when Harry empowered the faerie trap, then laid leaves and twigs over it so Toot-toot wouldn't see it. So long as Harry doesn't will the twigs and leaves, or the wet cement, to disrupt a circle, he can dump stuff on it all day long without a problem.
