为什么会出现“类型参数必须始终有效……”错误？

public interface IThing
{
    //...  Stuff
}

public class Thing1 : IThing
{  
}

public class Thing2 : IThing
{  
}

public interface IThingView<out T>
{
    ICollection<T> ViewAll();
}

public class ThingView<T> : IThingView<T>
{
    ICollection<T> ViewAll() { return new List<T>(); }  //  There\'s a big operation here
}

public interface IThingViewerFactory
{
    public IThingView<IThing> Build(string Which);
}

public class ThingViewerFactory
{
    public IThingView<IThing> Build(string Which)
    {
        if(Which.Equals(\"Thing1\") { return new (IThingView<IThing>)new ThingViewer<Thing1>();}
        else { return new (IThingView<IThing>)new ThingViewer<Thing2>();}
    }
}
