@ Deathisnothing : That's exactly what I mean by "complete" Knowledge/History Absorption : every single information about every single detail of every single phenomenon composing the subject, retroactively to its primest beginnings. This way you immediately and absolutely understand everything there is to know about it, making you the "ultimate expert of anything you interact with". The absorption can be selective, though with Lawrence I went all the way by default, since he's basically an information hoarder.

@ Darthplan : It would be a problem, and I did think about it ;) Lawrence memorizes the subject's data via brief merging (copy/paste) rather than ouright integrating it (assimilation). This way he can learn everything about it without causing any damage or disturbance (as a general rule, he only absorbs abundant non-living materials that no one will miss, and uses the informations harmlessly collected to build what he needs.
