People seem to really like making up weird distinctions that don't mean anything. Like agents are only government workers, or only the cloned ones, or only Derse has agents, or... And it'd be fine if only they did so in fics about that distinction, only they never seem to. It just shows up in random one sentence asides like here.
It's a pretty common reaction. And part of it's a communication thing. If a lot of people are used to carefully understating things, then when you say something, they hear something a lot worse. So, from his viewpoint, I'm one.
While I do hate that with the fury of several suns, at least they understand the basic concept of there being a right way. This is some weird canon relativity craziness.
