It's still the height of stupidity to tell the evil wizard cyborg boss such stuff to their face, when they have the legal right to immediately kill you (as well as ability, from the cyborg parts if biting else).

Then again, he was probably brown-nosing for Tarkin, taking a gamble that he'd live and earn points with him... which actually ended up happening so I guess I have to retract my earlier statement about stupidity when it worked out so well for him.

It was still quite a risky move.

A tactical gambit, essentially? I never thought of it that way, but it makes sense

I am learning lately how such things do not even have to rise to the level of consciousness in order to occur. Someone can be quite gifted in such skills without ever having thought them through logically.
