What, if the zeeh-factory just empowers instincts, while the knowledge of language remains and functions as kind of a "corrective", if an Alpha-zeeh commands the lower-grade zeehs? Actually we know that them zeehs understand (core-)language to some degree. But it is obvious that they don't listen to anyone and that they are not pretty fond of using language as means of organization, 'cause the instinctive behaviour serves their purposes well enough ...

Thus the events in "Stavro Mueller's Beta"-club are something to happen sometime imporbable time in the future, which also means: there still exist the Babel Fishes ...

Then this means that the Babel Fish remains in existance in an infinite universe although it is supposed to be extinct ... Right?
