I think Azguard means that there's a period of time where Ax's memory isn't reliable, because he was so emotional.

Lapse (from wiktionary):

# A temporary failure; a slip.
# A decline or fall in standards.
This definition--> # A pause in continuity.
# An interval of time between events.

So he was so emotional that he couldn't see even the most obvious fact? I don't imagine him like that, but maybe...

emotional wasn't really an issue with Ax...

andalite arrogance however...

Arrogance is never good. But I too find it interesting about what it did to Ax. I would expect him to undersand that Visser three maybe wasn't Visser three when he acquired an animal that lives on the andalites planet, as he is an andalite himself and presumably was born on this planet.
I really feel for Ax. Just imagine what he is going through, he must have a lot of time to think horrible thinks when he is alone in that big forrest...

true that. i think that no matter how close he got with the other animorphs, he would always be different.

At the time when morphing was invented I'm going to arbitrarily say 2342 died by Taxxon small pox, 434 by recreational plant wrestling and 9 whose deaths were hidden by the media actually suffocated on trying to drink liquidified Leerans.

In terms of how many Andalites died during experimentation with morphing technology I could make some numbers up like the above but chances are we'll never know. If I remember correctly the technology wasn't revealed to the public for quite sometime even the military didn't know about it (hence how Alloran was acquired in one of the books).

I'd like to think that the Andalites development of technology was overly cautious so safety first. It explains why they think humans were so quick to develop from the industrial revolution to spaceflight in such a short space of time. The only other reason is the lack of geniuses like Einstein which I'm going to simply ignore.  :P

An interesting question, one so interesting that I'd say it's the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything.

Therefore the answer is 42.  ;)

Yes, they let Steve-flipping-Jobs design the damn thing.  Personally, I prefer when it was pure Andalite tech--they at least have a sense of style.

42. I like that. Hitchhiker's Guide implies for 42 Andalites their entire meaning of life and everything was to die whilst testing experimental morphing technology. I'd be curious as to how they came about the idea and motivation behind creating such a device. Are they not powerful enough as a species? Physically easy on the eyes, decent defensive mechanisms, unbeatable ease of communication. I know the what-if factor plays a part but would you be curious enough to spend however large an amount of research and development to come up with such an unreliable form of a)finding out what animals are like and b)espionage technique.

I'd probably want to spend more time on a personal-phase-shifting device or undetectable and unblockable phase shifting long range remote sensors. Or for the curious animal lovers empathic-attach-to-the-side-of-the-head-device that lets you feel exactly what an animal feels.

Yeah, it always struck me as weird, that the Andalites were the ones to invent the morphing technology.  I mean, they're so proud of their own bodies and their tail blades, so why would they invent something that let them be other creatures?  A lot of Andalites would probably tell you that there's no form better than their own.  ::)

Yeerks, or humans, one might expect morphing technology from.  Andalites?  Not as much.

so why then? well...first of all...what neccesitated (sp.?) the means of morphing technology? or...were was it used for something else at first...recreation?
