My point was not at all that we non addicts are superior.

I was trying to make a methodological argument: If you only look at addicts, your data will say that addiction is inevitable. You need to look at the whole population, to see that some get addicted, and most people don't.

Then you can figure out how the groups are different and start to understand the casualties. I'm sure this has been done, but I haven't heard much about results.

I think your trauma theory very likely is part of it.



Ahh my bad, your phrasing was fine and I definitely inferred the wrong intent from it. Sorry, I should have read it with less baggage.
