One of the major difficulties Trillian experienced in her relationship
|
||
with Zaphod was learning to distinguish between him pretending to be
|
||
stupid just to get people off their guard, pretending to be stupid
|
||
because he couldn't be bothered to think and wanted someone else to do
|
||
it for him, pretending to be outrageously stupid to hide the fact that
|
||
he actually didn’t understand what was going on, and really being
|
||
genuinely stupid. He was renowned for being amazingly clever and quite
|
||
clearly was so—but not all the time, which obviously worried him, hence,
|
||
the act. He preferred people to be puzzled rather than contemptuous.
