Is this a plothole? Question about the Endless

[Zaniel]

The reason we don't know is because the writers don't know. No one sat down with a lore encyclopedia and the scripts for the last 4 expansions and whiteboarded / flowcharted out the ramifications of any of the lore or story reveals in DT. It just flowed out of the end of a pen based on whatever beat gave the writer his or her best feels in the moment. You CAN"T analyse the lore like a scholar because it has no fundamental structure or logic.

You are probably right. I am trying to make sense of something which in a dozen other ways has been completely senseless. I'll just chuck it in the bin with why a terminal keeping thousands of people alive is so easy to deactivate a child could do it by mistake or why Wuk Lamat can talk racists into giving up their eugenics program in one afternoon, but can't convince the Queen of Happiness and Peace to give us a few days to figure out a way for her servers to run on something besides people.
