"I guess if you were never wrong."

"Or wrong much less often than whoever would be doing the job without me. I doubt I am perfect."

Nod.

"What would be frustrating would be when I was right and the judge did not listen to me."

"Why would they do that?"

" - an important thing to remember about the world is that you know you are very exceptional, but there are also lots of people who think they are very exceptional and are wrong, and so it is not reasonable to expect everyone to treat you like you are exceptional until they have some strong reasons to think you are different from everyone else who thinks they're exceptional. Does that make sense so far?"

"...yes."

"So, it wouldn't be reasonable to expect judges to just know that I can read people very easily, I would need to do a lot of work to establish it and that work might be hard to do since this only really comes up in crimes where it isn't already obvious who did it."

"They don't do experiments with it?"

"With how well interrogation works in the aggregate, yes. With how good one specific detective is, no. Experiments are expensive and take a lot of time and for something that targeted it'd be awfully easy for it to be confounded lots of different ways."

"Oh."

"I am not grey so I do not know the details of how I'd have to finagle it but I'm sure I would figure it out."

"What if you were the other colors?"

"Oooh. - green I might do music if I were any good at it. If not I'd still do criminal justice policy research, just for a think tank. Yellow I'd be a programmer. Orange I'd be a paramedic. Purple - hmm. Maybe fly planes."

"Yellow I'd find a blue to puppet. Green - well. ...I think I would marry blue."

"You are bad at this question!"

"Am not. Orange I would be a therapist or teach blue children or something. Purple I would run a little café."

"Almost all those answers are about blues."

"I am really most suited to blue. The purple and grey ones really aren't, though."

"I said almost!"

"I thought I might have to be green. It would not have been good."

"It's good you didn't have to. I wouldn't mind though."

"Green is fine for lots of people. Just not me."

"Why?"

"I don't know. The way people perceive you when you are green is extremely wrong and I find it upsetting, and no green jobs really appeal to me."
