Here's the real problem with Blindsight: Small "questionable" interpretations of science lead to grand maxims of plot and pacing. The whole book is an exercise in misapplied misunderstanding. It's Peter Watts going "are you willing to roll with me on this one thing that I don't really understand and don't bother explaining? Okay then. THEREFORE THE WORLD ENDS AND IT WAS COMPLETELY INEVITABLE, YOU IDIOT. I'm so much smarter than you!"
