    I didn't mean to simplify DQ in any way. The word simply referred to
    ease of explanation. It's simpler to just "blame it on DQ" than to
    elaborate on a complicated intellectual explanation. Something like:

    "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

    On the other hand, I'm not really sure what you meant by:

    "Be careful not to shift any unexplainable things on DQ!"

    Isn't that the whole idea of DQ? To be unexplainable?
