What I said was: A. " a perspective into the vastly differing make-up of social and psychological profiles can be seen." B. " in order for it to be open-ended enough to be applicable to a large enough cross-section it has to be vague and if it isn't vague, it's going to be irrelevant to a lot of people." C. " the reality of the dreary routine is far more interesting and far more variable than the hypothetical." So yeah. I find real situations to be more interesting than fabricated ones, primarily because when you fabricate a problem you can never fabricate all the facets that actually make the problem a real problem. And contrary to what you may think, I don't think it sucks that these situations are normal at all. I think it sucks far worse to be completely flummoxed by everyday occurrences that can be handled easily if one thinks about it a little. The problem I dealt with yesterday - and solved to my satisfaction - trumps the crap out of all of the above, in my opinion... not the least of which is the solution matters.
