I went back and checked, and, yeah, while it didn't register with me before, that is pretty much what you said, so sorry I missed that.

Well, you were different in the sense that you were focusing on midichlorians being drawn to a host by his sensitivity and I was focusing on them being drawn to living things that the force "is strong with." So the similarity was not huge. I mostly just wanted to communicate that I was in agreement with you.

And, Go-Mer, maybe George intended it to be vague in order to imply that their connection to the force should be doubted (and that's why he never expands upon them), but my hunch is that he considers them solid truth. And, in the end, what he decides is officially true for the Star Wars universe so I don't like going beyond what seems likely. But, you could possibly be right.
