The police needed to make bold guesses when they lacked sufficient clues and information.
To obtain more intelligence.
When interrogating criminals.
They needed to be bold!
They had to guess in wildly outrageous directions.
Then they could use those guesses to trick the criminal into revealing a flaw and find clues from there!
