User blog comment:WindOfTheUnwrittenLaw/Emperor's Choices: What was he thinking? (Question 1) Angron's "Butcher's Nails"/@comment-172.0.160.80-20140924064331

What could he have done? Rewrite the Nails function so they acted in a different matter? Ad to ask this next question is to bring attention to another gaping plot hole in the emperor's way of thinking. Why not clone a new, fresh Angron and get him to lead the world eater legion? Or hell, carve out the Nails, replace the damaged parts of the brain with cloned bits and give him a clean bill of superhuman health? THE EMP has the knowledge and know how on how to do this. As does Dorn. and the iron hands. They can perform complex cypernetic neural surgery to replace whole chunks of a space marines head and face for ALL CRAZY'S sake!

That's my thoughts.
