Doesn't look like super intelligence or high psion count - which Ushiyama's words suggest is a trait of both Miyuki and Tatsuya - count for much.

Couldn't have said it any better. Although it is clear that Miyuki is valued much more than Tatsuya. While the latter is basically treated like a tool, the former is a candidate for succession. Moreoever the experimentation apparently done on Tatsuya is worth pondering. Question is, did his mother work on him because she as a member of the Yotsuba believed he had special potential, or was it the other way round that she believed he lacked something and was therefore also treating him like a tool to be shaped and used?
