*nodsnods* I absolutely agree w/ all that. The "activated" thing seems really bizarre to me for precisely the reason you mention. I think it's one of those very bad things that sometimes your mind wants to scitter around and not actually touch, so it's likely that I hand wave and go "lazy cliche story telling because of some element of plausible truthiness, can't be too mad at just that" when it's much more endemic than that and it is something I should be mad at.
