Hmmm... crazy idea, but perhaps this is a good reason to reconsider 
one's reading regarding WHETHER the Neighbors transported natural-state 
inhumi to the Whorl. Perhaps this is a reason to presume they did NOT 
infect humanity with inhumi by transporting natural state inhumi to the 
Whorl and then returning them to Green. That is a complex operation that 
I would prefer to be hinted at in the text--especially since 
dream-travel, Time-travel, and bodily possession are methods offered in 
the text.

Well, it makes a great deal of difference if they used dream-travel (the 
only method available to them as, so far as I see).
