(Q - Apollo: There are things like Los Picos, finally features like Los Picos that can still exist??)
MB: My problem was to respond to a pressing request, to draw lines, to make the lines, to say the lines, does it work? Isn't that working? My answer is, well, among the traits, there are traits that work if we can understand them. But to understand them, you need to know the solutions. What I called a circular reference, that is to say that at a given moment… what we have to… What we have to imagine is that…. The barometer that we can take in relation to this is the hunts which followed, the Max Valentin hunts which took place after the Golden Owl. All of them, without exception, more or less took up the findings of the owls who imagined things, and he took them up in his subsequent hunts.
Then, he modified the regulations, he wrote in the Trésor d'Orval, he wrote: “Unlike the Chouette d'Or, here I make it clear, that to be declared a winner, you have to find solutions”, whereas in the Owl, he had not thought about what could happen and he realized that at a given moment, there were players who could finally potentially find the countermark with a detector and come and claim the Golden Owl. As he hadn't foreseen the thing, he replied: “Well yes yes, they bring me the voucher, I give the Owl”, he didn't think when he wrote that, but afterwards in the subsequent hunts he corrected it and every time, it worked like that.
For me, it's crystal clear because I know the file so well that when I see everything he wrote about the hunts that followed, how he mounted them, how it happened... I say to myself well Yeah OK, it all came from the Golden Owl. It was his business, his ideas, his absolute reference.
From that, he corrected, including in the way he constructed the riddles, etc... He corrected, he realized, the, let's say youthful errors that there are in the Owl's riddles However, he realized it perfectly afterwards, and it was corrected. He never admitted it, but I can tell you that he realized it.
