Yes, I think this crystalizes Wolfe's intent for 5HoC, with the provision that part
anthropomorphizing their origin is truly forgetting their non-human origin. Though,
as Aunt Jeanine's lesson teaches us, the shapeshifter can evolve to perfect mimickry
with one limitation- their evolution requires they must retain their shapeshifting 
ability. (they can't remove it and give it to a salt goose, heh).

That's why I suggested in the other post that eventually, these parasite/detrivores will 
exhaust the resources of their human hosts and devolve back into what they once 
were.
