Whether or not or how this is supposed to work, there is a greater wholeness in the feeling and function of a world that acknowledges them. It’s an interesting ongoing empirical experiment. They’re not entirely scientifically provable, are they; but without them, the data is wrong.

Congratulations. On some of those levels, people are surely rejoicing.” They took a moment to handle the weight of their losses against this.
