Since only a small percentage of the population are "Reaverized" by the drug, maybe all of our heroes were immune, or didn't get any/enough of the chemical in their bloodstreams?

Rewatch BUSHWHACKED again. At the part where Mal is explaining how a lone survivor of a Reaver attack goes from shellshocked victim to Reaver-in-training, my main question is..'How does Mal know ?' I mean, ..how can he possibly even suggest an idea? When being interviewed by Harken, Mal says, " ..a man comes up against that kind of will, I suspect, is to become it. " Before I saw the BDM, I was under the impression that Mal MIGHT know, and was simply leading on with the 'I suspect' line. Of course Mal doesn't know, but he's picked up a good amount of info on Reaves in his travels.

Then there's Book. Seems even he agrees w/ the consensus that Reavers were men who went mad because they ventured too far out, or some such nonsense. Did Book know about Miranda and that's what pushed him to become a Shepard? Or was this something even more terrible than even he had seen? It's clear that Book was at one time an Operative, or at the very least knew their M.O.,something about their tactics and training. And Book knew more about River than he lead on, or knew what the Alliance would do to get her back. But that's another story

Either way, it seems both Mal and Book didn't KNOW as much, but merely suspected.
