Editing Genius The Transgression/Chapter One: The Cosmos (section)

===The Obvious Truth Law (aka Mulder's Lament)===

While mere mortals will screw up a wonder something fierce, there is no cosmic principle or conspiracy at work that relates to wonders or Inspiration. A mere mortal can see a wonder and she will not forget the experience. There is nothing in a wonder that "clouds men's minds" or that will cause them to grow confused. Wonders show up fine on cameras and videos. There are no vast conspiracies to hide the truth from regular mortals. In fact, the vastest conspiracy out there, Lemuria, wants to make regular mortals aware of their brilliance.

The nature of Inspiration, instead, remains hidden because wonders are not repeatable and testable. A regular scientist who handles a wonder will break it, and if she doesn't break it, she's already well on her way to becoming a genius herself (or at least a beholden). The only results, then, are that a mortal will mess up the wonder (possibly killing herself in the process) or will turn into a beholden or genius and join the ranks of the Inspired, which in turn insulates her from regular people.
