Why does the monitor, having given the passengers in the lander a choice between Blue or Green, overrule their (Quetzal's) choice of Green? Or maybe why were they given a choice in the first place, if the monitor already knew where to go? Or was the fact that it was Quetzal (an inhumi) who made the choice cause the monitor to change from the Green (the inhumi whorl) to Blue?
This is a question that bothered me also. I tried to ask it of Wolfe when he was on the People chat, but I was so flustered that I confused Blue with Green, and Gene gave an accurate, but unhelpful reply. I made up for it later though...
I think this question definitely should be on the train, and if it matters, I think the first formulation is the best.
Cheers,
