Books can make you intellectually and philosophically smart and certainly have a correlation with a certain kind of maturity, but they can't make you emotionally smart or street smart or teach you how to properly interact with other human beings. Books can't teach you how to behave like an adult no matter how adult the material within the book itself is.

Where do you think the trope of the weird, eccentric, socially oblivious professor comes from? A person can have an extremely high functioning philosophical or academic mind and still not be able to hold a natural conversation or respond to a social cue in the correct manner.

Great. Now I find out that there are actually two versions out there, a 2006 and a 2009 re-release with different stickers and a different Good Smile logo.

When I looked at other Good Smile figures from 2006 I see that they have the same TM sticker on them and the same Good Smile logo with the white border (as opposed to the newer logo with no border and the newer stickers).

Since I hadn't gotten a reply yet for the cancel email I've sent another stating that I was too hasty and that further evidence points to it being genuine in this case, and I'm going to go ahead and go through with the purchase.

At this point I think all I can do is wait and actually physically inspect the figure when it gets here.

Good lord what a harrowing and stressful experience. Do you guys go through this every time you buy one of these or am I just retarded for using Ebay?
