I love this because it demonstrates how fundamentally disorganized and arbitrary the world can be when we don’t have records of why and how and who. Those brains were there, so everyone assumed that they were just sort of supposed to be there, and in the building where the brains were missing people probably just thought there were only supposed to be 100 brains or whatever, because if you take a slice in time without any knowledge of what happened before then there is no reason to assume that anything is wrong.
