It's humorously IRONIC (as ever, with Warframe), that the addition of a term, (in this case, "Hive Mind"), actually does the opposite of confirming an theory.

Warframe adopts mythology, popular notions about "science" or "technology," the myths of science, the popular misconceptions, and historical fictions about any & all things which it puts a unique or known name on.

From the "Gunfighter," to "Radiation Causes Violent Psychosis," to casually playing with "Antimatter," to, now, "Hive Mind."

In one sense, there is still no evidence of any actual "hive mind" that actually exists.

In another sense, human being have already become "assimilated" (adopting the Haraway "Cyborg Manifesto" perspective).

In yet another sense, it is figured that human beings are, by nature, part of a "hive mind."

In a similar sense, a proposition of The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind asserted that "bicameral" humans functioned as a "hive mind," (until it broke down in the era "When The Gods Stopped Talking To Us").

Just as there is no scientific consensus concerning what a "hive mind" is, or should be (in "theory"), there is no single "theory" of what concept of a "hive mind" the "infestation" is supposed to conform with.

It's the perfect thing for DE to add into the mix, because "the theory that the infested [are] is a 'hive mind,'" is itself a "myth."

There is no one theory. So, by interjecting that term, it has effectively dispelled (rather than affirmed) any "theory" that the infestation is a "hive mind." The term, and what it is intended to mean, have now become the exclusive and private domain of what "DE" knows, and we don't.
