  • The pre-cogs are proposed as cinema’s ultimate gambling tool; exploiting markets or taking Agatha to a casino is imagined instead of using the gift only to prevent murder.
  • Preventing the triggering affair rather than waiting to interrupt murder is proposed from Howard’s perspective, while ordinary emotional freedom complicates that argument.
  • An explicitly invited Craig flex becomes a hottest take defending restoration of pre-crime despite a proposed two-percent error rate; civil-liberty costs and utilitarian reasoning are debated.
