It's not that hard. Just remember that attraction to
something/somebody is not related to the whole number in the whole
planet, but instead the number you have access to. I can give you
millions of examples. I understand you treat Vaxes like garbage
because you have handled so many of them. But I, for instance, have
never touched an actual Vax, and therefore I feel a _different_
thing. Do you see? Different experiences mean different evaluations of
reality. This is not hard to understand, is it?
Take women! There are millions of Pamela-Anderson-alike in the
planet, yet any (straight) man can't help from being attracted, can
he? (with or without artificial boobs, I guess... 8-)))))
