I can't find an exact reference and I don't want to spoil too much, I think this was in Children of the Sky, at some point one of the wolf creatures is imprisoned and somebody uses the ship's reduced AI to spy on them.
Slight correction: the person with the spy system didn't believe its reports in the end -- the doubt/dismissal problem came before sharing with others, as I remember it. Agreed this was in Children of the Sky.
(aFutD also had a case of high-stakes suspicion of highly compressed messages during Zone turbulence, as I think the GP meant.)
