Yeah, the researcher gets even more screentime as the series goes on; the third is primarily him. I never read KSR for the characters -- though I do find them recognizable human beings; they're just not that interesting. Remaking History blew me away. Perhaps in short stories he just whips out the great ideas, and it doesn't matter as much that his characters are walking policy papers.
