So he’s one of those Fair Witnesses from Stranger in a Strange Land?
Heinlein’s Fair Witnesses show a rationality failure.
It is impossible to report things “just as they are” without imposing implicit interpretation.
All observation and all language depends on an implicit model.
As I recall, Fair Witnesses didn’t ever give probabilities, they talked in binary terms. Morris, on the other hand, sounds calibrated.
They never drew conclusions.
