Read your jouranl article, but your take on the mecha in the end is interesting. I understood the mecha that spoke to David about bringing his mother back differently than you did apparently.
I forget the exact words, but the mecha mentioned that while they could ressurrect people from the past, that due to the nature of the universe, the did not live longer than a day. Maybe that in itself was over a lot of people's heads as much as the highly elvoved mecha were. Think of it this way - if you assume that each human is not defined by their physical presence in this universe, but by their informational presence - and that once this information is freed from the physical manifiestation, you can't really bring it back exactly the way it was before (a kind of entropy thing.)
Of course, I imagine if you try explainging this to anybody they'll probably assume thats why zombies crave brains or something as equally as silly as missing the highly evolved mecha.
