This fits but it's a really weird choice since he could have just decided not to teach psychohistory, or at least keep back certain parts so they can't figure it out. Instead he opts for a brutal murder that is going to demoralize everyone and make them uncertain about their mission.

I think that's one thing that sort of let's the narrative do whatever it wants because you can always say this was the only way the plan would work! if you werent demoralized/trapped/etc you'd have found a different path, but now you're stuck on this one path.

So far the only good reading the books has done for me is give me a lovely list of proper nouns that appear. That's cool too I guess.

They didn't know how.

Was that every explicitly stated? Id have liked some more concrete examples of the empire having decayed already and forgetting how things work. Would probably have helped me accept the Cleon stuff at the end.
