A third possible outcome of the Gom Jabbar test

To quote von Hammerstein-Equord: "The man who is clever and lazy qualifies for the highest leadership posts. He has the requisite nerves and the mental clarity for difficult decisions. But whoever is stupid and industrious must be got rid of, for he is too dangerous." Thus I posit a third possible outcome of the Gom Jabbar test, that the person could potentially stick his hand further into the box, exclaiming "I nearly have it!" Even though it was never mentioned to begin with that there is anything in the box other than pain.
