Ah, but that's just theory as well, isn't it?
No. It's a fact. Vila lies. Haven't you watched "The Way Back"?

course some of us prefer the complicated stuff).
Remember though, "a pro keeps it simple", something that Avon would recognise and appreciate.

On both the London and in 'Rumours' a junior is (asked if he is) studying for promotion - perhaps Vila was told at the recruiting office along the lines 'if you study hard a bright lad like you could become a captain' -
Recruiting office? What recruiting office? Do you really think Vila is someone who is going to volunteer for the army?
>and if you don't, the survival rate is 15%
15%? Where did this figure come from? And why would 15% be the survival rate? Who are they fighting? The rebels in B7 appeared to be a fairly negligible problem (how many Space Captains do they kill, versus how many the army of an intergalactic power has? Definitely not "all.") And the war hadn't even been thought of yet. Also surely being told that if he doesn't study hard he is going to die, is more of an incentive to pass the exam then fail it?
15% was a random figure - and for recruiting office read job centre/assignment area etc
