Why did minos think that if daedalus cant find his way out is so much better?

Minos believed that if Daedalus could not find his way out of the Labyrinth, it would demonstrate the superiority of his own design and intellect. Daedalus, as the creator of the Labyrinth, would be unable to escape his own intricate creation, highlighting the complexity and brilliance of Minos's architectural vision. This notion also served to reinforce Minos's authority and control over Daedalus, asserting that even the master craftsman was ultimately at the mercy of the labyrinthine structure.
