This has always bothered me as " reprgramming the simulation " is something " Capt. Renault " could never, ever do, not on his own. However, he might have been able to get his friend at the academy to do it for him or show him how. That's Capt. Renault. " I got my really smart friend to show me how to beat the simulator " and probably told him he wouldn't really do it, just asked him if it could be done. The Academy, also, would not give a commendaton for ' original thinking ' or anything like that ever. You'd get ' demerit for original thinking ' or you might get a demerit for interfering with a test, but then get a commendation for ' teamwork ' or something.
What we're now calling " PTDS " was thought to be contagious so you had to shoot them. Not all that dissimilar was people thinking homosexuality was contagious too. Have we really come that far ?
Remember when the current Dracula was looking to adopt an heir ? I send them a letter and a photo. They sent me a nice letter back, but they're looking for someone who looks more like the current guy ( who is the spitting image of the original Dracula ). Oh well.
