I noticed two pieces of evidence, though one is given to Number Five, who of
course has the same realisation. Then again perhaps Number Five was himself
interrogated at some point. I assumed they were examples of slips 'Marsch'
makes more frequently, anyway.
* He says there are "thousands" of old houses on Earth (of course there must
be millions)
* He talks about the welfare state on Earth but the interrogator picks up
that he doesn't speak as if he knows about it first hand
