I wonder if this principle also speaks to the hive-mind of galactic
superbrains when people assume that lightspeed communication somehow
limits thinking.  I'd assume that multi-layer controls would mitigate
those delays in the same way semaphores (and other management tricks)
enable multi-threaded operations to "merge" in a finished result in
much less time than serial operations would complete.

*shrug* 'probably just result in a Marvin the Paranoid Android being a
real thing.
