In episode 9 Kyubey states that there are some things about magical girls that even his creators can't explain. Then, in episode 12, he states that he has no idea why Soul Gems disappear when they're used up. My theory is that at first magical girl powers were completely explainable, and somehow the rules were even worse than they are now. But then a powerful magical girl made a wish to change the rules and managed to move the SlidingScaleOfIdealismAndCynicism just ''slightly'' more towards idealism. She, like Madoka, AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence, resulting in Kyubey forgetting both her and the wish. This could have happened multiple times, with each girl adding a new wrinkle to the rules that Kyubey can't explain.

[[WMG:Incubators are AI running on the same tech as the Magical Girls.]]
(I need to preface this by saying I know WordOfGod regarding how Kyubey's powers work [[DeathOfTheAuthor and I don't care]].)
Something that often comes up in robot stories is the idea of the robot body being like [[ComputerEqualsMonitor a computer monitor]] with the actual brain elsewhere. If you've played ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'' you know what I'm talking about. At some point I wondered if this is how Kyubey came back in a new body (he can make extras) and [[SpotTheThread everything else just fell into place]]. Lack of emotion, difficulty understanding others and unwillingness to learn, single-minded focus on a single task, and most importantly, CreativeSterility. His race has been gathering energy using the same methods for what is implied to be eons and it gets rendered obsolete by a pair of random high-school girls. This also suggests his claim that without his race humans would be "living naked in caves" isn't true; he ''thinks'' it is because he or his race are projecting their own lack of innovation.
Since having your consciousness outside your body is exactly how Soul Gems work, it's possible the Incubators and Magical Girls operate the same way but the Incubators get better tech with a far longer range. [[FridgeHorror This also implies]] Kyubey has access to technology that could have prevented at least one death but chose not to use it.

**** Israel gaining independence had always been a theme in the Bible, the Roman Empire was just one of the latest to subjugate it. The Book of Revelation was anti-Roman propaganda work that compared Rome (the seven-headed beast) with Babylon, and even the number "666" for the Antichrist was after the gematria interpretation of the name ''Nero Caesar''. One of the reasons why Jesus appealed to believers before is that he, as the promised Messiah, was to lead Israel to independence, that the Jewish faith shall dominate the world, not just for Jews but for Gentiles as well. But turned out He was too much of a pacifist, while the Pharisees were in league with the Roman government. Thus he was betrayed, crucified, and ultimately witched out. Still, like Jesus wished, Judaism did dominate the world... it's called Christianity.

*** Improbable, for the simple reason that the Romans ''weren't'' oppressing the Jews, not during Jesus' lifetime: Mark Anthony had demanded excessive taxes from the Judaean protectorate but that ended after Augustus defeated him, and while the Romans started taxing directly once Judaea became a province they were careful to not cause oppression and get the province in full rebellion, even removing Pilate for being too heavy handed in suppressing a Samaritan revolt (Roman attitude was usually "So what?")

what?"). While the tax collectors often demanded more money than they were supposed to (hence the Bible repeatedly referring to them as the lowest of the low), during Jesus' lifetime independentists were seen as misguided ''at best'', with breaks between Jews and Romans only starting when Caligula tried to have his statue placed in the Temple (something the Roman legate opposed fearing a revolt), and Roman oppression started only when Nero installed the oppressive Gessius Florus as procurator of Judaea and refused to remove him (directly leading to the First Jewish–Roman War).
