I think it's just the author trying to appear " neutral" and not an out and out enthusiastic supporter of the idea. Notice that the misgivings we may feel about stuff in the story are purely emotional, and, faced with Celestia, we can't even argue for them properly.

Imagine if the Borgs or the T'au had been like her, instead of being the strawmen we were faced with?
