     This ties DIRECTLY into my comments about convenience and limiting your
scope to what's important. Let's say that the above scenario is true. SO? We
obviously can't detect it or know anything about it. And if our existence is
affected by that fact, we obviously can deal with it, as we're all still
here, alive and kicking. So what good would it do for us  to discover the
rest of the kitchen? In fact, the realization of our own insignificance may
make things worse for us. Ambition could go down a ton. People could get
depressed. etc. etc. You have to keep sight of what's IMPORTANT, not every
little tributary to the big river of knowledge.
