A long time ago, King Jahad came into the uncivilized Tower and taught the inhabitants civilization and ruled over them. He had said, \\\"This place is too boggy.\\\"
For us, who were born and raised inside the Tower, it is statement that makes no sense. But for the people outside the Tower, the \\\"irregulars\\\", it is something they know very well. Surprisingly, there\\\'s no Shinsoo in their world, and something called \\\"air\\\" fills their world instead. They said that the Tower filled with Shinsoo is too boggy and uncomfortable for them.

...as soon as I read that, I got it. Basically: People are misunderstanding what the \\\'door\\\' means and what it divides. First, a reminder: the tower is divided into the inner and outer tower. Regulars are selected from the outer tower and send to climb the inner one. (Everyone assumed Baam would know this, because as far as they know, \\\'\\\'everyone\\\'\\\' comes from the outer tower.) But the \\\'door\\\' of the tower doesn\\\'t lead between the inner and outer towers -- it lead to the OUTSIDE. That is, an Irregular isn\\\'t really someone who forces the door or who takes the test without being chosen (though they\\\'re usually both those things, by definition.) An Irregular is anyone from outside the tower! The reason this hasn\\\'t been stated explicitly is because \\\'\\\'most people in the tower don\\\'t even understand that an outside exists.\\\'\\\' That\\\'s why the quote above has to explain the concept of air, and that\\\'s why everyone was so confused at Baam\\\'s ignorance -- people understand that Irregulars come through the door, but they don\\\'t really get that there\\\'s a world outside the tower.
At least, that\\\'s my understanding.
