I'd expect so. I'm intensely curious about your experiences, but please don't take that to mean that I feel you should share them with me.
[ Harold could feel himself about to slip into questions, so he mitigates what would result in another involuntary confession by making his own instead. It's an echo of what he'd said to Connor, that he doesn't think he's owed any explanation or response. Funny that he finds himself saying it to someone else here, when it's such a rare sentiment to need explained.
But just like with Connor, it's probably that Harold needs to say it more than that he thinks either of them needs to hear it. If someone else is being too giving he feels like he needs to put up boundaries for them in their defense. ]
I've put a lot of thought into how to mimic human cognitive psychology in a being without a human brain. [ That's getting into dangerous territory in a different direction, so Harold pulls it back quickly. ] Are you familiar with John Searle? The Chinese room experiment? [ Castiel seems well-read, so Harold doesn't want to assume he isn't, but he is naturally about to launch into a short lecture if he gives him the go-ahead. ]
