So that's how a packer thinks! I'm a mapper[1], and it's always been a mystery to me as to how packers got that way.
When I was an IT Admin, I worked with woman who VERY competent at her job, but always needed help using the computer, for even basic tasks, even with a list instructions. It took time before it dawned on me she was a packer, and my instructions weren't specific enough.
I started making exact instructions for her, accounting for any possible variance in each step. (As you would in a program) Once I did that, she was thrilled, and we got along very well after that.
An example of things that can throw off a packer... in Windows Explorer, drag a file from one window to another... depending on context, there are 3 possible outcomes (move, copy, shortcut creation)... that confuses the heck out of people, especially packers.
