[Robert is all-too-aware why Don might not like a "rat part", but he doesn't feel like he ought to presume and so doesn't speak for him. Instead:]
Much of the i-information on Terra is... digitized. As a result, I... p-presume it is simpler to keep track of it...
... And I suppose that could b-be used nefariously... [He hasn't ever actually had to think about it until Luceti, because it was just... normal that everything could potentially be on display.] Additionally, all Terran c-citizens are assigned identification chip cards... at b-birth, which alone are a compendium o-of... information.
... None of this was... c-considered questionable, and... at any rate, there are l-legal ramifications in place for the m-misuse of data... [But his own tone suggests that maybe these legal ramifications might not have stopped higher-ups before.]
