Maybe, and like I said, I'm willing to accept the possibility. But I'm not going to assume it's the truth.

I think the problem is you only have exposure from one side. My powers allow me to take over minds. I've done it. It was only temporary and it's different from how the Yeerks do it, but in the end, I can see how they just justified it in their mind.

And to be without senses...

I can see both sides. There's differences, yeah, but it's all basically the same.
