The education of the creature comes from observing the cottagers. It is watching and learning instead of experiencing. How could this be dangerous? What elements could it be missing or misinterpreting since it is not actually experiencing what it is learning, especially regarding the topics of mankind and humanity?

Why is it dangerous for the creature to think like this? How might this mindset separate it from society even more?
