When a difficult problem had multiple solutions, people tended to seek the simplest one.
Little did they know that determining which solution was the simplest often increased the difficulty of the problem without them realizing it.
Katarro couldn't be found, leaving only Fang Jue and Morkius as the two possible solutions.
