You have some interesting ideas, but you are introducing two assumptions:
1) That there is any point at all to incarnation. (If there is, it wasn't mentioned.)
2) That one can choose who one is incarnated as. (Again, if this is the case, it is not mentioned.)

Neither assumption is necessarily false in the L&C universe, but neither one is necessarily true, either.

And you are right about my own assumption -- I was assuming that Wells knew what he was talking about and that he spoke the truth. Neither part of my assumption is definitely true, either.
