[Webstral]

I’d say it’s more of a character failing. In this particular instance, I have become fixated on a certain idea that has certain ironies that appeal to me. I challenge myself with ways of seeing how unlikely things can be explained. Then I get involved in the business of testing ideas, which is where my pettiness comes out. This is good in that the devil is always in the details. This is bad in that the urge to be “right” can outweigh the merits of the idea itself. Looking at the behavior more in a positive light, I might say that I refuse to yield the point to a counterargument that doesn’t hold enough water. If you were to say that I might be better served by spending more time developing the characters and less time developing certain details, you’d probably be right.
