Right. I never assumed that a blank disc placed on program would pull all of its memories--just that it would start recording from the instant it was placed on the program. I mean, I know Sam's disc pulled some past stuff (though of course we HAVE debated how far it might go back), but then, Sam is also a User. And he was given that disc under far different circumstances (there could be different types of discs or syncing for all we know).

So if Effigia had been given a blank disc, nothing could be learned from it except after the time it was given to her. I didn't realize at first that that was what you were getting at...I thought you just meant did they mean to stick her in the games.
