Imagine being the grail knight. You do your job perfectly well on your own for 700 years, then you finally get a chance to talk to another human being and within minutes the whole place is in ruins and the grail is lost. The real lesson of the grail legend is don't make friends

"No, I'm not having this. Remind me, how long have the Conservatives been in power? I haven't got my history that wrong."

Basically, show me a leading disruptive thinker and I'll tell you what chapter of Chaos Marines they collected in the early 2000s
