every time i see talks of the Dax symbiont being inherently reckless i think about that scene in Rejoined where Lenara tells Jadzia:
"Dax, I am not like you. I don't have a little Curzon inside me telling me to be impulsive, to ignore the rules, to give up everything I've worked for"
so Kahn ascribes Jadzia's behaviour pretty much exclusively to the influence of her last host. which means that either 1 this is true, Dax used to be more normal and it only looks like it has always had a crazy life bc we're missing some kind of context, or 2 Lenara deep down knows that Dax has always been that way, but she's trying to convince herself that Torias Dax would have let her go and all the pain that this reunion is making her feel is just because Dax has changed now.
or! trill society dysfunction secret third option where this comment is a symptom of trill culture ascribing all "bad" and undesirable behaviours to the hosts. and it's unthinkable to Kahn that a trait could go deeper despite the evidence everyone surely has. because the symbiont is idolized and believed to do no wrong and it needs to be protected from bad influences through unnaturally rigurous host screening so no one notices when it is the problem
