Yes, yes, YES! Those things as well! I typed this whole thing up super quick, so I knew I was forgetting things.
makes her opinions clear in ways that often make other characters think twice about their pre-conceived ideas (especially Murdoch)
I think this becomes especially evident when it comes to Murdoch's spiritual beliefs. I don't think he questions his belief in God so much as the Church's way of doing things. Which is, I think the more important thing. While Ogden is an atheist (or at the very least, an agnostic), she doesn't fault Murdoch for his beliefs, just his inability to see others' points of view at times. When they don't see eye to eye, that's when she really makes him think. And it's never the other way around. Which I love.
It's not a question of making him believe her, it's just a matter of making him see her point of view is all, and that's all she asks. And as a scientist, Murdoch appreciates that. She is a brilliant and understanding woman.
