Swedish: It was clear

[James_Skipp]

I've read this before in a book:

Det stod klart att ... whatever whatever...

But can you say: Det var klart att...

If it means the same thing why would you bother with stod?

For me there is a different meaning, "det stod klart att ...." means something like "it became evident/apparent ..." . "Det var klart ..." "it was clear" often means "it was done/finished".
Compare:
