"Look, I'll try to explain the Law I'm using, you may well be able to follow if you pay attention.  What we're trying to avoid doing is presenting Keltham with a single Conspiracy world that he can figure out.  We want to do things that make internal sense in the Ordinary world, even if they might seem sort of weird and complicated there, but which would be more complicated and hard to square up internally in the Conspiracy world.  Yes, there's ultimately a world where that all makes sense, because we're living in it, but we want to make that hard to find, and when we use weird complicated logic that's inconsistent with the logic we've previously used, that helps us as long as it's less weird inside the Ordinary world.  The fact that we told him about Cunning and headbands isn't good but it also means that we were stupid and now if we do something very complicated and smart and clever then, even if Keltham thinks of that, it won't match up with our previous stupidity in telling him about Cunning at all."

"Yes, Keltham can think that we just planned the whole thing, whatever the whole thing is.  Maybe Keltham has read 100 dath ilani romance novels where somebody tries some very clever thing just like the one I thought of after I became not entirely not dath ilani.  But, if Keltham imagines a mastermind like that, the part where we previously told him about Cunning and had to execute the whole clever plot in the first place won't make sense."
