That really needs a rethink.
That's not the main problem for me. A child might think out of the proverbial box, etc. The real problem shows up when the Jedi think they can basically take over a clone army with no one caring about it, with no questions asked, and just accepting on blind faith that they have no ulterior motive.
The former is being a little slow - even good detectives can be a little slow every once in a while. The latter is letting your world go to pieces because you're a bloody idiot.
