You are not reading at a deep enough level to engage with the text. dath ilan is supposed to be a rationalist ideal world.

I didn't read dath ilan as an ideal world, just a better one.

You are missing a word in my sentence. The key word isn't "ideal" but "rationalist".

I didn't miss it and my response would be the same. Dath ilan is optimized better than our world, but certainly not maximally optimized.
