History Headscratchers / Unwind

* How is Unwinding even managing to go on? Aside from the fact that the process is so deep into ArtisticLicenseBiology that it nearly hits CriticalResearchFailure, it also violates some long-established laws and codes of ethics, which in and of themselves would be pretty much sufficient to ensure nobody does the research. The premise itself makes no sense if you know any of the science involved here, really...

** The author could be playing the unintended and negative [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor consequences]] stemming from both sides' positions [[UpToEleven beyond their logical conclusions]] to show that [[TakeAThirdOption taking a third option]] isn't always possible, and never as easy as one would wish. Not even when you really [[ForeverWar need one]].

*** no, impact is definitely the cause of clappers going off. During Lev's perspective at happy jack it stated that he couldn't barge his way through the crowd without setting himself off and he had to be more careful with movement in general. Maybe the ceramic bullets are somehow sharper and pass through clappers without any blunt force?

** It's probably about the chemicals in the tranq bullet that make them explode. Why they wouldn't use regular bullets in that case... I don't know.
