Oh, and I don't find your opinion offensive. More like vaguely irritating. (Apparently another thing I'm fundamentally sick of is people equating "annoyed" with "offended". Totally different words, my hand to god.)
Just so we're clear, I was irritated because really nothing in the world annoys me as much as a failure to understand. Even when you don't agree with someone, it's usually possible to understand them. In this case, I don't think that it should be mystifying why they chose to make Jaime ordinary, even if you disagree with the decision or the execution. Maybe you just didn't explain yourself very well, but it certainly sounded as if you didn't understand, rather than that you just disagreed.
