- Clyde could have just killed Darby, the judge and everyone else instead of spending ten years digging tunnels.
- A defense: killing anonymously would not make a public point against the justice system.
- Waiting years let Darby keep living; the distinction between justice and revenge (Batman Begins) explains Clyde's scattershot method.
- The other weak link is Clyde moving in and out of an elaborate, manicured isolation cell unnoticed, while also working a janitorial job under the name Nomos.
