I was told that Yudkovsky is a writer who does not allow his characters to act irrationally solely in order to move forward the plot. On the evidence of this text, however, that is not true at all. Plot has more holes than you can drive a truck through. Characters are cardboard cutouts, their motivations opaque. Author should stick to his day job, whatever it is.
