Ordinarily I'd be the first one to agree with this. I think Jaron Lanier mused that the origin of "geekiness" is the reduction of human activities to the technology of the day. Near-quote: "Music becomes MIDI; art becomes Photoshop." And I suppose relationships become information/fluid exchange.
However, I'm going to indulge my howevering nature. I think it's kind of nice when people attempt to act consistently and at least try to see things from a neutral perspective. "Illogical, captain" can be a starting point to moral behaviour.
