I don't agree. Our world view is complete. If we can't understand them it is because they are wrong/mad/chaos and therefore must be pitied/converted/killed. Depending on how good a mood we are in.
Orlanthi have a complete world view since they have a 'horribly evil things that cannot be allowed to exist' category. That may be uncomfortably large from other people's perspective, but it does work for the Orlanthi.
