And as I've stated elsewhere, this is not guaranteed. You don't know what
it's doing; you only know that at some point in the past, it started to
malfunction. From then on, to the point where an expert in the field declares
that it's fixed, all bets are off.
A navigation system that works gets you from A to B. A navigation system
that ceases to function at all may leave you stranded at A, or leave
you heading towards B, with no way of stopping when you get there. A
navigation system that is operating, but incorrectly, might be heading towards
Q, while claiming it's going towards F. Or it might be heading for C, which
is in the same direction as B, but not the same location. Or it might make
coffee.
They're all possible, as are your possibilities of infering Gan's history,
but some are more likely than others. All you *can* say, reliably, is that
you can't trust what's going on in there, because there's an unknown factor
that *might* be influencing things in an unpredictable manner.
