I have stated several times plasma that they wouldn't do that because they are treated DIFFERENTLY than the slaves outside the house. Which is why when a riot or commotion breaks out they do not understand why because "The Master" has been good to them. You do not understand what you are talking about in any context.
No, grey, you either refuse to acknowledge the point I'm making or do not have reading comprehension; I doubt it's the latter, so I'll rephrase my point so you can actually address it.
I am not talking about the House slaves. The field slaves had an equally likely chance of screwing up the master's business since that is what the master made his money off: working hundreds of slaves on plantations all day long - probably abusing them - and yet they did not do anything which could sabotage the business of the master because they were aware of the consequences. Note, I am not talking about slaves that were in the house at all here.
Please explain to us how the Brutes cannot Sabotage the elites "In no practical way"
I don't care about scale
The impracticality of an attack implies the scale or magnitude is insignificant, grey.
You are honestly saying that if the Brutes attacked the temple it wouldn't matter? You do understand that those Brutes clearly have some backing and intelligence behind them not to mention we know that if other brutes do not help then they will attack them. The Temple would only be the start.
Okay, grey, let's entertain your thoughts. Suppose the Brutes attacked the Temple, killed a couple Elites, and destroyed -blam!-. Congratulations, they have managed to piss off a bunch of Elites on their home-world and are likely to get exterminated. The Brutes are unable to launch an attack of sufficient magnitude to be any noticeable threat.
It is an issue because you have no idea of what you are talking about and fail to see past "today".
Translation: You have do idea what you're talking about because your opinion differs to mine on this subject.
You made it an issue by bringing it up, grey, I've simply been responding to the nonsense. I don't defend inexcusable flaws in the novel such as Lucy's punch not having the appropriate impact, only those which are just a bunch of nonsense and contrivances.
