** When Brian tells his father about everything, his father is horrified, pointing out that the government is using him as a guinea pig in a probably illegal government drug trial. Furthermore, he points out that with competent legal representation, he might be able to get Brian out of his FBI contract arguing he is under duress and not in his right state of mind. He only stands down after Brian asks him not to pursue though he makes it clear to the FBI that if Brian dies, he will sue them into oblivion.

*LoopholeAbuse: While Brian has to keep NZT a secret, Rebecca points out that he can legally tell his father his father if he's also Brian's lawyer since that information would be privileged and Brian still has right to representation. He balks at it initially, but later decides to let his father in on the loop.

** The irony is that in Sands, Agent of Morra, Brian has to do some more hacking. Sands claims that the PC is running a Unix-based system. In reality, it's running Windows 10 and Brian is actually typing a lot of nonsense in a Power Shell, which all return errors.

Critical Research Failure is a disambiguation page

* CriticalResearchFailure: In "Personality Crisis", Brian notes that a 928 cell number is specifically Yuma, Arizona, a location connected to a suspect. Actually, 928 numbers cover most of UsefulNotes/{{Arizona}} outside of the Valley, with the Flagstaff/Coconino area having the biggest density - if choosing only one city, that would be the most logical assumption. The kicker is that this is fairly common knowledge, too, not something you'd need NZT to think of.
