Reference: X compared to Y = possible Discrepancy?

I didn't even look at the part of the scene where Harry adds the coin from the drowned guy and one of the Kincaid-killed-them guys, without altering the final coin-count at all.
Yeah, I'm not trying to rationalize this anymore. I'm just going to with my good friend Occam, throw my hands up in the air, and ask the Mighty Jim why he does this to me. ::)
He's so... not detail-oriented. It makes everything so stressful for those of us who make lists and are kinda OCD and tend to over-analyze wayyy too much. It's almost like he's just focusing on the story and plot and characters and silly things like that rather than the miniscule details that almost nobody actually ever catches until read-throughs or even really care about anyway because in all probability they completely lack any actual relevence.
*Sigh.*

I feel you Ziggelly. It makes me paranoid to even try to come up with theories that may be plausible depending solely on whether or not a piece of info is an actual goof or an intentional discrepancy. Thus, Jim sows his tales as we reap epileptic trees. :P
Duke Blue:
I don't know if this is a discrepancy or I just missed something but the talk of weird counting made me think of it so I thought I would bring it up.
In Dead Beat, when Mort does the red ink trick to show where necromancy has been used around the city, Harry clearly lists out seven locations. Then both Mort and Harry say "six" (Harry then concludes that there are six Necromancers in town which I didn't get either but probably is a side issue). Why did both Mort and Harry say six when there when seven locations were just pointed out on the map? As I said, I don't know if it is a discrepancy or if I am just missing something but if I am just missing something please tell me because it is bugging the heck out of me.

Don't remember right now, but one of the locations was the greaveyard wasn't it? That would be Mavra. It explains Harry saying six, but not Morty..
Ziggelly:
--- Quote from: DB ---I put my finger beside one of the larger red circles. "This is the Forensic Institute. One of them created a zombie there earlier tonight."
Mort sat up and leaned forward over the map, his eyes glazed with fatigue. He pointed at another bloody dot. "That one. It's the Field Museum."
I traced my finger to another one. "This one is in a pretty tough neighborhood. I think it's an apartment building." I moved on to the next. "A cemetery. And what the hell, at O'Hare?"
Mort shook his head. "The ink's darker than the others. I think that means it's beneath the airport, in Undertown."
"Uh-huh," I said. "That makes sense. Two more. An alley down by Burnham Park, and a sidewalk on Wacker."
"Six," Mort said.
"Six," I agreed.

Yeah, I'd say that the cemetery one is Mavra. But there's no reason for them to get a count of six when there are seven places.
Duke Blue:
It's also interesting because this meeting in DB is also where the Mort's haircut discrepancies arose that Serack mentioned earlier. I bet someone could turn this into an awesome conspiracy theory.
