I think you're antropomophisizing it too much. My spleen and my liver
do not argue all that much about keeping the Cosmos (yours truly)
healthy and safe. We do have some problems with the symbiotes in the
digestive tract but that usually only happens when they experience
some external change and we're forced to wipe them out and replant
them - again.
