Early Signs of Agent Cooper's Fallibility.

For sometime Twin Peaks watchers have assumed that Special Agent
Dale Cooper could do no wrong, that he was an ace sleuth, a deductive
duece, and telepathic to boot.  Well, as with several other characters
the new season reveals that Coop just might be less than he seems.
For example, when Coop takes the heart from James and James
replies that he lifted it from Jacobi, Coop replies, in near disbelief,
"Jacobi!...I didn't think he had anything to do with this at all."  Wait
just one minute Agent...didn't Jacobi's rock nick the bottle?
Also, Coop is wrong about James.  He tells Truman that if
James had had the necklace he would have given it to them to help
with the investigation.  Wrong.  James and Donna hid the necklace
from them (I think to impede the investigation).
Coop leaves Audrey hanging.  Coop refers to Jacques death
as a "strangulation" when in fact he was suffocated.  Coop can't
give any details about the person who shot him (Albert comes up with
more than Cooper does)...like what the person smelled like, like
if it was a man or woman, ect...
All in all Coop's beginning to act like a real FBI agent...
