Hence mental masturbation. It's the same as saying "Suppose X exists. Let's invent all the attributes that X must have!"
So you'll forgive us for not caring about all the superfluous attributes of something that doesn't have any evidence it's even there to have superfluous attributes.
postulating possibilities and implications of those possibilities is important to philosophy. whether you think it's useful or not is irrelevant. I posted the vids to answer the OP, not to prove the existence of God and the vids successfully answer his question without diverting or bringing up meaningless analogies.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
