That's highly debatable.

Yeah, like burglars think widespread use of faulty locks is not a problem. Just an interesting little tidbit.

Let's say you were asked from input when the writers were delineating the character way back then. What would you suggest as his origin?

Ontario School Bans Wi-Fi 287
St. Vincent Euphrasia elementary school in Meaford, Ont. is the latest Canadian school to decide to save its students from the harmful effects of Wi-Fi by banning it. Schools from universities on down have a history of banning Wi-Fi in Ontario. As usual, health officials and know-it-all scientists have called the move ridiculous. Health Canada has released a statement saying, "Wi-Fi is the second most prevalent form of wireless technology next to cell phones. It is widely used across Canada in schools, offices, coffee shops, personal dwellings, as well as countless other locations. Health Canada continues to reassure Canadians that the radiofrequency energy emitted from Wi-Fi equipment is extremely low and is not associated with any health problems."

Hello reality dictates you are either successful or a failure. You don't have a middle ground there. It's how the world works, get used to it.
Yeah, that's why everybody in the world except Bill Gates is dead. Including you. Sigh.
Dave came in 15th place in the race! He's such an average driver! Horray for mediocre!
Managing to get a 15th place instead of not finishing at all can make a NASCAR champion.
