What do these details tell us about Gideon’s knowledge in planning the Nephites’ escape?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Gideon’s knowledge of Lamanite drunkenness tells us that Gideon has some system of espionage. The fact that the Lamanites seem to have frequently, or even habitually, gotten drunk is interesting and may have been interpreted, even among the Lamanites, as a moral failing” (Gardner, Second Witness, 3:380).
