I think you are mixing up modelling and explanation. It may be that 'being
something' is the only way to describe it. Why is that invalid science?
Especially when 'being something' is everything that enables science.
Every oject in the universe has a first person story to tell. Not just us.
Voicelessness is just an logistics issue.
