** Also, the "history" he relates in ''Charming'' seems to have jack-all to do with anything: it sounds very much like a creation myth interspersed with Windstille propaganda, and has little explanation for such things as "why the humans maybe want to kill us."
** Also also, the "Human Table Manners Simulator" looks an awful lot like a spacesuit, and the human vehicle looked an awful lot like a space capsule. Given everything else, it's not a stretch to suppose that the whole "Charming" thing was a fairy tale mocked up by Gedachtnis to distract Drossel. His bemusement at Drossel erasing the alterations to the "Warning" sign was because this meant that his charade was falling apart.
