Actually, the real problem is that you need the Babel fish to do something with the case and the atomic vector plotter. But the point is moot--without the atomic vector plotter, you can't do anything on the Heart of Gold (I think) and without the Babel Fish, you can't get the atomic vector plotter. And there are things earlier in the game that you are unlikely to figure out until you have done stuff later in the game, meaning that you need to replay the game to take advantage of that knowledge. Unless you have fed the dog, you have no idea what I'm talking about. :-)
