Don't get me wrong the fight was cool but why was Divinity so obsessed with getting Ben to transform? Was it really as simple as his ego and wanting to fight a "worthy foe?"

There was just a lot of emphasis put on it and it seemed like this was a key part of his plan.

Correct me if I got it wrong or whatever.

Any force user that connects to the living force would gain a heightened sense of what it means to be alive and how living beings think, work and feel.
And the more the Jedi empathetically connect to sentient life the more they become altruistic.

Does that explain why the Jedi (on paper and in theory that is) are unconditionally compassionate and indiscriminately selfless?

A few times in the first novel notably with the Baron, people wanted to have some level of plausible deniability in case they were placed before a BG truthsayer. This is the reason the Baron tries to have the desert kill Paul and Jessica rather than doing so directly.

But it got me thinking, there's no reason a bene gesserit truthsayer wouldn't be able to detect a lie by omission. They aren't machines, they're just really good at picking up on body language cues. The same cues of nervousness, anticipation, and fear would be present whether you're telling an overt lie or simply hiding the truth.

My theory is that this is a lie that the BG have perpetuated so they can manipulate the nobles they are in service to. They'll do their job just well enough to be useful, but also give themselves an out if they need to preserve an individual for whatever reason. "Oh well he technically wasn't lying when he said X"

Say Yueh's intent to betray is caught by Jessica or his Imperial conditioning breaks through and he doesn't go through with it and/or Leto manages to rally the freman to his side sooner.

In any case the Harkonnen assault on the Atreides is a failure, Leto is still alive and in control of Arrakis. What happens next?

I was trying to get wifi to work on my machine, so I did USB tethering with my phone and tried to install the wireless driver but this error message pops up every time I do it also seems to switch my choice to "Do not use the device." Does anyone know what this error message means and how to resolve it?
