the German translation states : *always* knows

Maybe it is superfluous. Could you please check ?

>The German is only an "indirect translation," so it doesn't need to be an exact match to the English.

I know that. But nevertheless, at some time in a translation, the word "always" has either appeared or disappeared, and I think it is interesting to find the culprit and to correct the wrong.
