Genius when you realize that Agatha wasn't a vegetable and could map hypothetical futures (like when she tells Anderton what his boy would be like.) Then it makes sense because she was manipulating everyone the whole time into the best possible future, one where she escapes and Pre-Crime is shut down. Whenever anyone bitches about plot-holes its because they believed everything that the government assumed was true about the pre-cogs when it really wasn't.quote:If Agatha has a vision of Anderton killing Crow, and then only because of that vision does Anderton run around and end up killing Crow, then which is the cause and which is the effect? And more importantly, how did Burgess "frame" him if those two events are some sort of simultaneous causal loop? The initial vision of Anderton killing Crow wasn't the actual future, it was a hypothetical future (like the timeline where his son survives) that Agatha was dreaming up and showing the Pre-Crime agents so she could manipulate events. quote:How exactly will they find enough precogs to blanket the whole nation when Burgess had to commit an extremely risky murder just to obtain ONE precog? Once you can convince the government that something is a good idea, they will go to extreme, unethical lengths to support you. (see: Japanese internment camps, the War on Drugs, the siege of the Branch Davidians.) My guess is the government would just sieze all of the psychic crackbabies they could find "in order to protect them," and then use them in their Pre-Crime programs. Burgess just had to commit the first murder to set his plans in motion.
