Instead of "because I say so" we get "because God did it;" which is 
exactly the answer ICR folks were looking for in the first place.

[Arlo]
You just have not gone far enough back.

Joey: Because God did it.
Janey: Why did God do it?
Joey: Because He thought it was good.
Janey: Why did He think it was good?
Joey: Because HE said so.
Janey: ...
Joey: ... There... all done...
Janey: Why did He say so?
Joey: Because He did.
Janey: Why?
Joey: Because.
Janey: Why?
Joey: Because.
Janey: Why?
Joey: Because.
...

I could point out that such endless recursion is the unavoidable 
byproduct of symbolic encoding, and that eventually this endless 
"backup" leads only to "mu", but this is lost on people who's egos 
are masturbated to satisfaction by "Quali-God did it" and stop there.
