Inhumi secret

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

We should bear in mind, though, that the Rajan himself is very
doubtful about whether the secret is really useful. "If you will, it
is a great and terrible weapon. That is how the inhumi themselves see
it, and I will not call them wrong. But it is a weapon too heavy for
our hands."
</Andrew Mason>

So is it not a weapon too heavy for the Neighbors' hands? Did their
"final" coordination affect the inhumi strongly/adversely enough that
they paranoidly expect humans to do something different but with
similar effect, even if most humans would see such coordinated,
instantaneous "goodness" as utterly impossible?
