Hope this isn't too controversial
But why? Controversy is the spice of life when it's handled in a civilised way.
but I do sometimes wonder whether too much isn't made of the postcards for illustrations.
Maybe so. But they are something specific to go on, and a good hint of what AR had in mind. None of this is laid down in stone, and nor is it essential for enjoying the books, but if you love reading them, then it's detail that adds to the fun.
The whole 'Beckfoot plumbing' aspect is really just a way of getting even further immersed in the stories.
