Good point. This is the insight that writers like John Le Carré and
Len Deighton brought to the world of spy fiction. People don't betray
their countries because of principle, or politics -- they do it for
petty reasons, like not getting that promotion they were hoping for,
or because someone is banging their wife. There is simply no telling
what a human being is going to choose to obsess upon and use as a
justification (internally, anyway) for their odd behavior.

Good point. This insight might explain why you betrayed your country for
petty reasons and moved to France and then posted that story about Rama
levitating - there is simply no telling what a human being is going to

Go figure.
