^Which, BTW, also applies to Rational!Harry. How is your book going? Because we over at ff.net are kinda starving. Your work is dearly missed. People are speculating on you pulling a Wheel Of Time on us :P

As for the quote, ever since I read "A Blind God", I've really noticed how inhuman evolution is. Not intuitive, at all.
