I don't even understand this. Why should I have? I didn't even realize the ranger could protect himself until after
Boro mentioned it, and I just assumed any false ranger would be discovered by his survival, as usual. If
Shasta were a false ranger, I certainly didn't see any reason why the real ranger should put himself on the wolves' menu that night just to reveal a wolf who would be caught anyway. I still didn't understand it after Boro's revelation.
Now, why are
you seemingly convinced that what
Boro did made perfect sense - so much so that I should expect someone to do it, and so much that he could have expected his fellow wolf to do it if that wolf were around? To me, his stunt looks, frankly, nutty.
