I thought it was a good question and the poll results illustrate your point very well. "Seductive" is an interesting word. I don't disagree that the situation is inherently...conducive to attachment? I'm not sure what word I want here, if not 'seductive.' I guess 'seductive' implies intent to me, or agency. Behavior can be 'seductive,' but can a situation? Is it a 'seductive' situation when you're castaway on an isolated island (literally or metaphorically/emotionally) and bond with the nearest friendly-looking thing?

But whatever--**** it, I won't argue semantics when I agree with the principle of the thing. So, good poll.
