It would still not be a case of Crane giving the right answer, because Crane was essentially proposing a mini-stroke, not some sort of programmed haemoglobin-moderated memory access.

        Just really quickly, I think Wolfe does this in Long Sun, especially with regards to Crane's lame physical cause to Silk's original enlightenment, which seems like such a dumb idea until you realize he could have been programmed for such an information hemorrhage.
        I didn't even think about a physical cause for it until years after I originally pondered it because Crane's explanation was so purposefully unconvincing.
