** This is also why there is an absurdly large amount of censoring of knowledge in The Imperium of Man, specifically around the concept of [[HyperspaceIsAScaryPlace Chaos.]] If you know that Chaos exists, it can corrupt you. [[ThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow If you know about]] [[EldritchAbomination a daemon,]] ''it knows you as well.''
