Nov 6, 2015 at 23:39 comment added ThePopMachine @Damon: But you don't know that! I don't know why you think you can insist that Guinan specifically has some power over the Q, and also no El-Aurians do and therefore she is not an El-Aurian. You don't know which of those premises are incorrect.
Nov 6, 2015 at 22:24 comment added Damon @ThePopMachine: They are "ordinary" insofar as they have a physical body and they are subject to the laws of nature. Whereas Q is pretty much immortal and invulnerable (by normal means, we know that Q can harm and even kill Q) and can do pretty much everything, at will. Anything "not Q" is therefore an ordinary carbon-based, insignificant thing to him. Whether you're strong like a Klingon or can shapechange like a Founder, it simply doesn't matter. Even if you are psychic, it doesn't matter. To a being that can destroy a planet with a single thought, you're meaningless.
Nov 6, 2015 at 22:19 comment added ThePopMachine @Damon: (1) any sentence that starts with "Because Q says so" is highly doubtful. (2) Why do you assume all El-Aurians are "ordinary carbon-based lifeform" (by which I take it you mean don't have timeline-sensing powers or other powers that look like 'magic') ? You are just arbitrarily accepting some 'facts' and rejecting others to fit the premise of your question.
Nov 6, 2015 at 22:14 comment added Damon @ThePopMachine: Because... Q says so, and he has no reason to lie. That is a very strong in-universe reason. If she was truly El Aurian, then she would be just an ordinary carbon-based lifeform -- too insignificant for him to even bother (other than for curiosity, just like he is curious about humans). He could make her "go away" or turn her into dust at will. No need for drama, no need for fear. Q does not fear the Borg (and why would he!), but he fears someone from a people whom the Borg destroyed? Unlikely, not conclusive.
Nov 6, 2015 at 22:07 comment added ThePopMachine Why do you assume that the things you accept as true are true and that "she's El-Aurian" is the faslehood as opposed to any other observation?
