Daneel was altered at towards being a detective, (offscreen before his initial meeting with Lije) originally he didn't have much info/experience/data on HOW to do it. he got better at it, as well as getting somewhat better at being human, nearly indistinguishable in fact, after 20,000 years. Sherlock Holmes was written as a detective who could put together clues to solve a mystery. Daneel being a robot meant that emotion was not a factor, complete and total recall again a benefit, if he learned how to stitch this stuff together from Lije, then he would have become the best detective EVER, downside of this is that according to the laws of the time robots were not allowed to give evidence in any court of law.
The idea of LKije, Giskard and Daneel running through 20,000 years is an intriguing one, unfortunately for the 0th law to have taken full effect on Daneel, both Lije, and Giskard had to fall away from the fabric of life. |
