I don't see how he'd know at this point (unless, y'know...). Also the relevant part of John Carpenter's quote seems to be "I don't know if a person knows he's a Thing or not. I assume so, but it brings up complex, existential questions that perhaps would get in the way of a simple premise. Best not to ask." The other quotes seem to clinch it though. | |
