I care! Mainly because I am one of those people who likes to 'figure things out' (and sometimes inadvertently breaks things in that same quest to figure things out ). I like this kind of thought as it leads me down other interesting paths - as an example, looking at the links between Saruman and Newton.

I see what you might mean though. Are you talking about the magic in Middle Earth? That sometimes we ought not to try and explain things and simply leave them as purely magical occurences? If so, then I can appreciate that point; sometimes its better not to try and explain everything.
