A true believer you are!
I supposed you think there is a meaning to EVERYTHING in Mullholland Drive too.
You are putting way too much credit into Lynch who laughs all the way to the bank because he's got you.
Mullholand Drive should have shown you his genious in that he can create something that is nothing and everyone calls it a masterpiece. Don't get me wrong here, I love Lynch and many of his movies are a great watch - but to think that he is a brainiac master of cinema is wrong.
He initially shot Mullholand Drive as a TV pilot - when it wasn't picked up, he used some money the studios threw at him and filmed some extra stuff (ie Lesbian Sex scenes, Creepy Thing in the alley, etc.) of which made no sense and had nothing to do with any core story - it was all done to make the film as bizarr and "Lynchian" as possible so the true believers would go "amzing, brilliant, best ever"
Lynch's best film is "Straight Story" simply because he finally made a great linear film that didn't need bizarr sex or midget dream-men to make it "great".
He proved he is above the Almodvar's and Bertolucci's - but it doesn't sell. So back to the no-story bizarr cinema so people like you will come back to the theater a dozen times to try to figure out the film - Lynch laughs all the way to the bank because it means nothing - I know it, he knows it - and the masses don't.

Polish brothers are better filmmakers all around.
