   This is a major disadvantage in trying to foresee how aliens would be.
   Something truly alien would be, by definition, something that we'd never 
think of in a million years because it's beyond our understanding.
   Just like (if you'll excuse me for mentioning it) many people can't see 
what would be so great about Heaven: we are imperfect beings, so we can't 
grasp what a perfect existence would be like.
