Regarding G55's "slip": people have asked whether any reasonably experienced wolf could make a slip like that– and I say the answer is "yes", under sufficient pressure.

Just to clarify: I'm not talking about her calling herself "Galwolf", which seems just her being hypothetical, but rather her strange reasoning there, which looks a lot like a wolf forgetting to separate her actual point-of-view and knowledge from that of the village. As As I said, I've seen the exact thing before.

If it is that. It could certainly also be a tangled attempt to explain the psychology of framing in terms of "what the wolves think the village thinks the wolves think". (Not that it really answers the questions she was being asked, mind you.)

EDIT:X'd with Legate.
