*** Or, here's a thought, he actually KNOWS they're tagging along, in fact is perfectly aware of what's going on with them helping him out, knows they're smarter and more capable than him, but also knows that he can jump in and help when needed. This also accounts for his sudden bouts of competence when they're involved. ObfuscatingStupidity, anyone?

** Because directly threatening the people Gadget cares about (e.g., Penny, Brain, Dr. Slickenstein) is pretty much the worst thing you could do. When that happens, Gadget immediately grabs the SmartBall, proceeds to [[LetsGetDangerous get]] ''[[LetsGetDangerous extremely]]'' [[LetsGetDangerous dangerous]], and becomes nearly unstoppable. The only reason it doesn't happen more often is because Gadget doesn't usually realize it when Penny or somebody else he cares about is in danger. Frankly, most of the episodes would be over before the 15-minute mark if Gadget realized that it was Penny and/or Brain in danger.
