He should consider the neuroscientific answer: The brain is a limited capacity model maker in a world that is only partially sensed. It was evolved to predict food and survival along the time dimension, not much more. Its model making is limited to extrapolating linearly (infinities) or nonlinearly (quanta) from initial conditions, and there is no guarantee it can make a full consistent theoretic universe. Even its notion of information is limited. It ponders many questions, mostly out of inertia, but not all questions are going to lead to useful answers, even the question 'why quanta'
