Dirk isn't stranger to people not believing a word of what he has to say, so he goes on to explain without much fuss. "I..." He thinks about this one for a moment. He hasn't really ever been asked how he manages to solve his cases. He just does. "I use my intuition. My delicately attuned faculties, my intelligence."

"Up until my capture, I also had a business partner. I found it helpful to have someone to-" He makes a vague flailing hand gesture. "-bounce ideas off of, to voice my theories to in order to gain better understanding of them myself. The mind does not exist in a vaccuum, Daneel, as I'm sure you know."
