This was an important fact and I needed to know it."
"The second thing I learned is that, in fact, everybody around me, by extrapolation, probably has a bunch of other - stuff that a dath ilani would think of as completely made out of obviously invalid reasoning steps - and it's possible for you to know about that, without being able to fix it or even manually counter it each time -"
