- Alternative Character Interpretation: Is Harrison arguing so vehemently against Jarvis saying Tweel is intelligent because he's just being a contrarian Jerkass or because he's being something of a devil's advocate, making sure Jarvis has absolute concrete proof of his convictions?
- Have a Gay Old Time: Strange aliens are described as "queer", "ejaculate" is used as a dialogue tag, and most damningly of all, the protagonist himself is called Dick.
- Values Dissonance: Jarvis casually mentions how some races on Earth are too stupid to formulate a coherent language.
