That part sounds highly interesting. It probably also explains why 1st person narrative is more personal than 3rd person. The former allows me to become the person, while the latter transforms me into a simple bystander that doesn't do anything. If it is mixed it becomes a little bit annoying to me - e.g. 3rd person narrative with inside thoughts that a bystander cannot actually know (e.g. motive for action). I prefer 1st person as there is little way for the author to cheat.
