Actually, I'd take that as a sign they lost the ability to think of doing something else without outside prompting...which is actually quite common with some forms of brain damage.if he'd been hit repeatedly in the head and developed a minor case of serious brain damage, would continuing the same actions as he had performed before be a sign that he's coping well or that his judgement shouldn't have been trusted at any point?
Seriously though, Saint gained the ability to comprehend the basics of Dragon's code, and the ability to operate their stolen Dragon tech from Teacher. He got far enough to begin to understand the important bits before Teacher's boost wore out. He wanted the boost again to finish his work understanding the code and tech, and Teacher's power re-enforced this desire to near obsession levels.
You have to remember, Teacher was very subtle with the master aspect of his powers. he had been empowering PRT personnel for months, if not years, before that was discovered. Teacher did have an aspect of control over how powerful the influence was; but before he was Birdcaged, he kept the influence to a minimum to escape detection.
Personally, if I was Saint, I would have been more interested in a Cauldron vial with a high chance of being a tinker, even if Saint himself got something different, there were several Dragonslayers that could have taken another vial. But it's possible by the time Saint would have heard any trace of that rumor, he was already influenced by Teacher.
Oh, this isn't Saint's stupidity infecting everyone; this is everyone's natural stupidity shining through.can we not talk about Saint please, his stupidity is starting to infect every one here
