Ambiguity

John Matheson:

I know you said it wasn’t a problem getting me here, and I hate to contradict a superior officer, but I suspect my status as a telepath did…come up.

Matthew Gideon:

John, you know what causes most problems? Ambiguity. Not knowing which decision is the right one. You’re the best First Officer I’ve ever served with, and I consider you a friend.

So there was no ambiguity, and no problem.
