Shmoop menciona o seguinte:
Also: after Rabbit disappears, the leafy green top of the carrot he left stays around for three days. Which is a not-so-subtle message to Alfred that Rabbit might be more powerful than Alfred expected.
Parece que essa pode ser a "pista" de sua grandeza.
Trecho relevante do capítulo 9:
Surely Armageddon would not be announced by a silly rabbit? There followed almost eighty hours of
uncertainty as Alfred's inner teams pounded away at the mystery. Finally, his EIA analysts discovered the
true explanation, something at once comforting and deeply embarrassing to them: Rabbit had —
admittedly with extraordinary cleverness — exploited a combination of buggy software and foolish
registry settings, the kind of flaws that bedevil careless consumers. The bottom line: Rabbit was far more
dangerous than Alfred had originally thought, but he was not the Next Very Bad Thing.
Vaz suffered through every moment of the suspense. But in the end, the most infuriating aspect of the
incident was the piece of carrot that Rabbit left on his desk. With all the resources and expertise of the
modern Indian state, it took EIA signals intelligence almost three days to obliterate the logic that injected
that image into his office network.
O que quer que isso signifique, Vaz percebe isso no capítulo 32.
He had heard enough to know that Rabbit's accusations
were in the pdf sent to Parker's laptop. Alfred would never complete his research program. Indeed,
Rabbit had been the Next Very Bad Thing. The carrot greens in Mumbai had made the point, but I
willfully ignored the evidence, so hoping I was to win with my plan.
