Actually the weighty arguments I had in mind were the quotes you offered 
that seems to set Sol far away from Blue and Green. I find those quite 
bracing. Arguments of practicality are of the second sort I mentioned:
* Which planet is Urth? (Blue is a better candidate but Marc places a 
lot of stock Wolfe's answer)
* How did the orbits get so screwy?
* If the Whorl has come home why does it leave at the end of the novel?
* The unending tap of inferrable technical problems with equating 
between Blue/Green and Lune/Urth or Verthandi/Urth or Tzadkiel/Urth,  et 
cetera (actually this last sort of problem occurs for explanations that 
are agreed to be true).

Perhaps the Rajan is implying that the Neighbors were originally human. 
Perhaps he is implying that they are the Hieros of Urth. Perhaps the 
whole point is for _them_ to return to Urth. So many theories in Wolfe 
novels start as a filler in what _seems_ to not be explained.
