The answer was obvious and he did not speak only from experience.
Same face, same level of talent; one has a good personality and the other a bad one.
No, it wasn't experience; it was common sense. And as someone who was guided by reason, Oliver understood it very well.
That's why he didn't hesitate to question her feelings.
Even with his limited –if not, non-existent– interest in human emotions, he knew there was no real reason to prefer him.
For someone to choose him over Gene made no sense; he was aware of this better than anyone.
So why would it be different this time?
