Deutlich prosaischer, aber auch erheblich präziser als der verehrte Geheimrat diagnostiziert Matt Gemmell die Zerrissenheit eines Geeks:
Geeks are known to love configuring and customising their devices, but perhaps paradoxically they can also be reluctant to do so because of a compulsion to not deviate too far from a
clean(and thus presumably safe, fast, efficient, known and well-tested) configuration.
