It is simple. Jury's out on "easily-accomplished" but the plan itself is pretty straightforward. It's not like you have anything to lose now. We're already dead.

[Which is perhaps putting it too simply. They're already dead, yes, but there's plenty else to be afraid of. Harlan knows this. Harlan also tries to ignore it whenever possible.]

Why wouldn't you think you could get a better handle on your ability?
