You could say that <g> and throw in the fact that, having recruited a whole heap of crooks, he has no scruples about using their shadier talents (especially Vila's).
<He went the other extreme, didn't he?, became a whole different Blake, one much more exciting to watch. Of course how much of law-abiding Blake was actual conditioning and how much of it was sheer drugged stupor, anyway?>
Six and two threes? I'm assuming the conditioning was very intensive (probably more so than for others it was tried on) but it appears that it needed chemical help to keep it at full strength; plus, the Powers-That-Be don't appear to have had that much faith in it, since they seem to be keeping him under surveillance. Which, *given* his painfully un-Blakeian behaviour and timidity, which would have been a *really* boring job up to Ravella's appearance :-)
