This is the main difficulty, I agree. I don't see how it could be 
accomplished without just ignoring the problem.

You also make a good pint when you refer to "the great secret of the 
inhumi." If they have a secret, that implies some degree of concerted 
action.

But the existence of another secret beyond the secret we know is 
unproven. I have the same intuition you do, however---that there is 
something else they hide. Maybe that they can be burned as lianas?
