Early Mistakes

In A Circus Of Hells:

Flandry does not check the equipment provided by Leon Ammon and therefore learns too late that it does not include gravity impellers;

when captured by the Merseians, he displays his knowledge of their early history rather than let them underestimate him;

when Ydwyr mentions Aycharaych, Flandry reveals that he does not recognize the name instead of feigning knowledge and letting Ydwyr disclose more.

Flandry is learning.

In haste, folks.

Kaor, Paul!

It would have been a contradiction in the series if Flandry and the Empire had learned about Aycharaych's abilities before THE DAY OF THEIR RETURN. In fact, Flandry was not to learn more about Aycharaych before "Honorable Enemies," which led to me discovering how that story contradicted TDOTR. A problem I discussed in my "Finding An Unexpected Contradiction" note (along with a proposed solution).
