Consider your point understood, and believe me, it's a quaint one; however, such concepts really only apply in myths and legends.
Tell me, Mustang - did you really believe that Lt. Colonel Hughes would remain blissfully unaware during his time here, until...I don't know, such a time that this world decided to allow him to return home? There are some here that would be willing to use this information against him, should he meddle in their business - it's jarring enough information to cause him to hesitate at an inopportune time, or to harm him mentally or emotionally, should such a need arise for these individuals. Should I assume you would prefer him to be unprepared for such an event? And what about afterwards - when it became obvious that literally everyone that came here from Amestris is aware of his ultimate fate, and yet no one saw fit to tell him?
Say what you will about my methods; assume what you will about my intentions. I don't have to answer for either. However, as far as I'm concerned, I've done Maes Hughes a favor.
