    Huh, I always took that scene as being a classic hard sci-fi sort of “no, your thinking is constrained by what you have previously encountered, this is a new class of thing”, though I could see how one would read it your way

      I totally agree that the lines are written to align with the trope of “my existence is beyond your comprehension”. I just don’t think they really followed through on that.

      I feel like Occams razor here is just that you need to put THE villain on the movie poster. Sacrifices were made in order to meet that goal.
