That is\ncertainly easier to imagine as a specific coordinate than whatever we\nare supposed to make of Gabriel's line re: \"50 million years too late\nfor that creation\" (in the play).  (Aside from the fun of having\nBible figures quoting big round evolutionary time scales!)\n\nRe: lessons learned in Thecla's cell.  Well, as you say, there is no\nguarantee that Canog's BOTNS had a nifty timeline in it--plus, while\nSeverian is said to be an excellent student, it is plain that the\nsubject of his study in Thecla's cell was, er, more carnal than\nspiritual.  He wasn't paying attention to =that= when he had =this=.\nAnd yet, perhaps it crept in anyway, just not at the conscious level.\n\nIn another example, he glanced at the papers the old man handed to\nhim, papers which told info about \"Cas\"; he glanced without reading\nand perhaps without \"mind photoing\" for later reading (but he still\n=can= count the soldiers marching by at Saltus).\n\n=mantis="
