You lose your skills (making you more dependent).

How might we have changed things?

If you’re the Linguini in this situation, you can (and probably should) work with that assistant on your own to make sure some learning is happening. Maybe practicing in your own time, or taking over one dish each day on the job during slow periods. Rémy doesn’t have to go quiet in these moments. He just shouldn’t lead. Let Linguini make decisions, and Rémy can give feedback on those decisions.

Shouldn’t it have strong multifactor authentication?

I suspect all briefings contain highly-sensitive information. And sure, we can give it the benefit of the doubt that mere contact provides a biometric signature “something she is.” We should see some indication that she provides one of the other two: Something she knows like a password or something she has like a combadge.

Is everyone supposed to be able to see it?

The team is watching the mission briefing in the lower right. As is anyone else at the bar, I guess. As you can see in the wide-angle shot, the team is just watching the brief with the briefing agent in the nightclub of Baraam. It draws attention.

What if the team has questions?

I’ve never seen this in a mission briefing in present-day spy thrillers, but there’s an opportunity here since we’re dealing with very advanced technology. If the briefer has a
