weak characters == really role playing

I think you missed my point... the point being the difference between
character and person and character as collection of abilities on the
character sheet in a point-limited game.  I'm not sure how to explain it
better, especially when you're being steadfastly negative.  I say, "to me
it means this" and you say "no, it means this."  Well, *to me* a
character, in terms of stats on the page, is combat-oriented when that's
what the character is best at, regardless of personality and preference of
the character as a "person".  But I don't think you're making that
differentiation between character-as-person and
character-as-character-sheet.
