After Kirk disappears, why doesn't Spock almost immediately realize that he must be inside the obelisk? Spock stated earlier that he couldn't scan through the alloy into the obelisk, likely the only place on the planet surface he couldn't scan.

Kirk asked Spock for the "nearest concentration of life forms," suggesting perhaps that there were other concentrations. Life forms in Trek-speak means intelligent beings.
