>when AI are searching for you in the shadows, they're programmed to home in on you

I've seen this stated before, but I have not noticed it in my many hours of playing, nor have I seen any evidence of it.

It seems to me that they become VERY sensitive to sound and will home in on, for example, walking-speed footsteps on stone or wood which usually would never alert anyone.

Why isn't the Thief AI better documented? I've seen some explanation of their vision cones but why isn't there a full breakdown of the AI code and various states? The community is so dedicated, you'd think this would be readily available on a wiki somewhere.
