not that that is a flaw in the character or writing, in fact, i think it prolly most mimics reality right? i know very few people that easily fit into pre-conceived labels when it comes right down to it.

I agree entirely, I felt it was very cheap for him to magically make this connection. I thought it was a cheap set up to HAVE to lift the pot off him to give him a chance to figure it out as well, as if they'd bother, really rather than straight up demanding it from him pretending for a moment it was really that important. I just don't see how a near catatonic Jesse works it all out to be that sure. I mean they "found" the salt cigarette. Honestly I don't even know why he's still alive given the trouble he could cause.
