Limiter was working (though badly) at that point and scrambled signals *were* feeding into his brain. But then, when Gan wakes up with no

And as I've stated elsewhere, this is not guaranteed.
But it can't be ruled out either.
You don't know what
it's doing;
I think I've got a good idea of what the authors intended should be going on.
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.
An expert who declares Gan a psychopath.
They're all possible, as are your possibilities of inferring Gan's
history,
but some are more likely than others.
That's true.
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.
That's absolutely right. But only right in the sense in which it relates to that particular episode. When evidence from all the episodes is put together, it starts point very strongly in the "Gan was a psychopathic killer of women," direction. See also my post to Sally, on Nation's "Of Mice and Men" comparison.
