Unpredictability and inconsistency of behavior are so bad for people in that group (and, really, everyone, they just can't work past it like a fraction of more talented computer-users can). If opening something or performing an act

"A few thousand dollars" is an absolute shitload of money to most people who aren't riding the computer programming bubble, and especially young people. It may as well be $50,000 for how hard it would be for them to come up
