Right now, if one searches for plothole in any dictionary, a pic of the Wish Realm must be in that entry Yeah and it probably won’t be able to be addressed in any satisfying way.

Plus, I just thought about it: How would Wish Hook know that he and Hook’s story were the same? The writers will probably chalk it up to “The character lied...because reasons.” I never took that line seriously. It is one of those small things to pretend that never happened. He can't know anything about real Hook, sure, so why are we basing our notion of the WR backstory in an unreliable line? It's just a figure of speech, it is not to be taken literally as if their moms are the same, their favorite books are the same, they ate the same for dinner each day etc.
