What I mean is the following:  Okay, Carlos fathered Bey and Sharrol's son
Louis.  Now, what bugs me is that when, in Ringworld, Louis is told of the
maiden voyage of the Long Shot, he is either unaware or uncaring that his
father was the pilot on that flight.  Obviously Louis had either no curiosity
about his father's past activities (unnatural for a son) or Bey never
entertained his son with such stories (unnatural for a father).  Or else
so much time has passed since Louis's childhood that he no longer remembers
or cares about his parentage.
