Hi there misterT,
You made me think of how desperate we are to understand nature that we dont really understand. If we dont anthropomorphize what we can not see then we something-else-ize it such that we can believe we know what it is. So if it is not that then i guess it is the other...one way or another we'll name it to something even if we dont really know what it is or how exactly it behaves. We have to humanize it some way or another so that it fits into our nice and neat and simple short form of the universe.
