User blog comment:Madman97/The CHIM Theory: Why I don't think it exists/@comment-3315619-20131127053921

CHIM is, essentially, just another word for what is thought to be a type of magic. That's why it's categorized under "Magic" in the UESP article on CHIM you're quoting (or rather, the UESP article you should be quoting). We know various types of magic exist in the TES-verse, and that we haven't seen all of them. In that context, it's simply pointless to assume CHIM doesn't exist, especially since the concept remains largely undefined. You're insisting a concept doesn't actually exist in-game though you can't even say precisely what it is that you're declaring non-existent.

So, all you really seem to be saying is that you don't like the idea of CHIM. A lot of people have that reaction to a story device they perceive to be overpowered, as they believe it cheapens the overall story. More power to you. I highly recommend simply ignoring things which are substantially detrimental to the quality of your story. That's why I ignore bull**** about "transcription errors" and levitation acts.
