Interesting. I guess I underestimated the amount of coins pre-Stella Libby had access too--I observed that she didn't seem to have overclocked her brain, that she needed to get people to spy on Stella rather than turning invisible and doing it herself or using pastwatching, etc, and concluded that she lacked the power to do things like that, when in fact she did have the power but not the motivation. So I guess (while we're talking about cognitive biases) I fell prey to the opposite of the fundamental attribution error--I figured she wasn't doing these things because of the situation she was in, not because of her lack of motivation.
