Indices is the plural of index, but we'll leave that aside.


That's pretty clearly a typo for "indicates".

The other word is naivet�.


The New Shorter Oxford Dictionary says:

*naivety* The state or quality of being naive.

Perhaps you were confusing it with nativity which is something else.


I don't think he's the one that's confused.
