Yes, I was reminded of that too. If you ask me, that's also a lame explanation. But then I'm not a big fan of Dune (I did like the most recent movie, tho).

Anyway, even a lame explanation is better than nothing. But authors are only people, and so their books will never be all-seeing, all-knowing perfections.
