I think the english dub might have contributed to Lain’s reputation as confusing. Rather than pacing their lines, the voice actors consistently adlibbed extra bullshit to fill time, introducing plotholes.

Something that people keep forgetting about GitS: in every iteration of the franchise, full-body prosthetics are extremely rare. Cyberbrains are common, but suggesting that everybody with a cyberbrain has a prosthetic body is like saying everybody with a modem has full home automation.
