I guess it's different strokes for different folks....

In a spider hole, such as we've had explained to us..
He could NOT know if anyone was near.
He could NOT know if it was okay to come out.
He could NOT defend himself is someone noticed the Styrofoam - and fired through it before lifting to inspect.
He could NOT attack and kill a couple of transgressors - because he wouldn't know he had the advantage.

He would be totally dependent upon others to tell him when to go in and when to come out...

This all begins to sound like he was really a PRISONER of his "Keepers"..

I suspect the bastard was losing his mind - and couldn't be trusted any longer...
They were bleeding him dry, and keeping the "faith" alive Armonk's the lunatics by keeping him barely alive and have him seen from time to time, or making a tape from time to time..

A blind hole is NOT a warrior's or leader's position...
As "technologically advanced" as it may have been, it was a rat or a prisoner's cell...

Just one old man's opinion...
