Yet another problem with this theory.  When the narrator and Hoof and
Jahlee travel to Green and visit Sinew's city, they go out to the lander
where Horn died and retrieve the Neighbor ring and leave it with
Sinew.  Surely people would have noticed and made a fuss if Horn's body
had actually been a dead inhumu.
