Oh no, just anargumented ones.

This may be less of a flaw and more of my general misunderstanding.

That, i can agree with you. But not in context of Interstellar.

5th dimensional stuff focused on Cooper's room means that the "beings" in charge of the tesseract knew of Cooper and the pivotal point in which the leaving of Earth became a possibility, and they knew that Cooper had to do it because they were in capable of doing it themselves (somehow?). Cooper thinking that it's the future humans who are allowing him to do that is not that unreasonable a conclusion to come to. And it's just his thought. It could be aliens or God or something else that allows him to access the 3 dimensional version of a world in 5 dimensions. Cooper could be wrong, it's just what he thinks at the time, hence why it's so important that he save the humans' future timeline.

I like the idea that Cooper is right, if for no other reason than it makes the appealing point that we are the ones who need to and can help ourselves, whether across dimensions and time or in everyday life. That fits with Nolan's thematic implications I think.

I find it extremely interesting that this film has two groups of people who each have a major problem.

There are those who ignore or deny the existence of flaws solely because it is a Nolan movie, and there are those who are trying to point out as many flaws as possibly solely because it is a Nolan movie.

I'm still writing up my formal analysis of the film, but I think everyone can agree that there are some problems with the dialogue. Most of it is fine, but some of it is overwrought. On a second viewing, things like Brand's love monologue settled a little better in the context of the whole film, but it still could have used some editing. I think Nolan's idealism about the thematic elements of the film (or any of his films) want him to include these profound soliloquies, but the situation doesn't always warrant it. Gordon's Dark Knight speech and Old Murph's speech I thought were examples of good times to use that technique, but some of Coops musings in the beginning and Mann's speech to Coop dented the realism that Nolan uses in those scenes. Finding the balance between when to use "big picture" dialogue and when to keep it more subtle is something I think Nolan can continue to work on. Luckily, this is not the most egregious flaw (in my opinion).

Guys, guys... you're all missing the biggest (and only) flaw in Interstellar:
