Nothing wrong with asking plot related questions - we all do.But therefore lies the damnation of 2001 - the plot overshadows everything else in that work.
Does it really? Not to all viewers. Some are still searching for elements of art... sure enough there are some - Kubrick would not be a Grand Master if he didn't put some even in his weak work. But they are far more scarce than in his best films.
Problem with concentrating on plot is that anyone can take a plot and make a movie... but only a master will make a masterpiece.
That is amply examplified by the many remakes of good movies, most remakes having the same plot - and the same plot related quesitons - but none usually of the caliber of the original.
I always say that art is not in the subject, it is in the means. In 2001 Kubrick got absorbed too much in the game aspect of the work, in the then revolutionary flashy effects and to some degree lost the track of his career.
