Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's agreement to the Daleks' 'human factor' experiment in Episode 39 (cand_evt_scene_472a4c345744d98e_01) escalates in Episode 40 (cand_evt_scene_8cc555a06da86283_01), where he exploits the concept of human instinct to undermine the Daleks' confidence."
