Can't believe I'm taking Sliver's side, but I see his point (and consider it a failing of society). A lot of people are conditioned on 'power/expectation creep'. Sliver's seen a picture of star. Now he wants to see a star with some buildings on it. Then he wants to see the star with some buildings on it with some aliens beside them.
'Another' picture of the 'just the same star, but a better picture' is 'boring' to him. That it's a better picture, and what it represents to have gotten that better picture is irrelevant, because he doesn't want a picture of a star anymore, he only wants a picture of a star with buildings or something 'even better'.
