Peace Talks snippet on Entertainment Weekly
Arjan:
He skipped the boring bits.

He would know the date of his first memory. He would also be aware of the holes. Bob is an information appliance and information appliances manage when and how they amass data. He knew he was missing memories of Kimmler.
toodeep:
And if he acquired knowledge from his progenitors he might have knowledge that goes back further than his "memories."
It is interesting to note that Bonea may have knowledge no other non-divine or semi-divine being might have the she may have inherited from Lasciel's shadow. Divine or semi-divine beings appear to generally be limited in what they can do and what information the can share, while Bonea may not be. She might be able to perfectly describe many secrets of how the universe works without the usual limitations. Not that I expect that though...

--- Quote from: Mira on January 24, 2020, 03:41:30 PM --- I think the quote from Blood Rites is a bit misleading because at least part of his memories are being blocked by him on orders from Harry. Those were the years when he was in Kemmler's keeping. One could argue they weren't that many in the whole of Bob's life, but at the same time it shows that Bob can be selective as to his memories.. So how much else is he forgetting on purpose? So his recall of years of memory cannot be relied on as an accurate gauge for his age.
--- End quote ---
All of this is a plausible and possible explanation.
Another one is that Bob may be blocking vast swaths of time as "no, for those 48 years I was serving a freaking mushroom-wizard who studied the deadly stuff and the nutritious stuff and the hallucinogenic stuff and nothing relevant to this query," etc...

I had a hard drive like that. I threw it away. ;)
