That's true! I forgot that! It went a long way for me in explaining Gaeta's mindset when I saw that. That Gaeta would go to such lengths to shield himself from learning the horrible truth about himself was quite the revelation. It also cast a really interesting new light on his character and the mutiny arc, which I saw in part as Gaeta trying to make up for his blindness.
