Oh, figure he expects we're all mutant idiots who know not what we do.
Point of fact, as far as aware I'm the only actual certified mutant on this forum. Often I do not know what I am doing. Learned a long time ago, as a boy from a U.S. Army Ranger, it is far better to not know what you're doing.
First of all if you're captured by an enemy and get tortured you've got no valued information. You're not a liability to your forces and not an asset for an enemy. You can easily then pass for a non-threatening entity. That means the enemy will divert attention away from you. You can then raise hell tearing their shit up.
Secondly, if you actually know what you're doing you'll think and that is often the first and last mistake. Thinking can cause paralysis. You'll start by wondering why the "planners" create this plan the way they did. You'll then start second guessing, doubting, fear sets in ... you get paralyzed. You'll not let your basic training carry you through what needs done to follow the "general order". That general order likely includes phrases such as Adapt, Escape, Evade, Survive, Calm, Never Surrender.
If not the militant type this knowledge still applies because you need to live. Living can at times seem a form of combat. Still better to not know what you're doing. Life often screws up plans anyway. That's life for us though, absolutely absurd, no rhyme or reason to it. There's no destiny, fate ... these are simply lies we tell ourselves to try staying sane.

"Ah, that a be me just a using a my kidney, eh! Whatsa matta you?"
Odd factoid for you. According to various disciplines in science, medicine we're all, all of humanity actually mutants. Our species like all animals and even plants have adapted to keep living. Adaptation, change keep us mutating. Change is the only eternal and constant. All the rest is transient.
