# The authors are talking about tale *types*. An individual tale, like Jack and the Beanstalk, is more than a type. For example, the magic beanstalk which features so prominently in this tale is *not* part of the tale type \"Boy Steals the Ogre\'s Treasure\", as defined by the Aarne-Thompson index. Saying that \"Boy Steals the Ogre\'s Treasure\" (Aarne-Thompson 328) is thousands of years old is not the same as saying that \"Jack and the Beanstalk\" is thousands of years old.
# In the authors\' model, there is a 39% probability that \"The Boy Steals the Ogre\'s Treasure\" existed in a Proto-Indo-European version (which leaves a 61% probability that it did not exist). I.E. it is a possibility, not a definite fact.
# Even if \"The Boy Steals the Ogre\'s Treasure\" is that old, it does not follow it is \"one of the oldest continuously told tales\". They only examined the Indo-European tree of languages. Language goes back far further than Indo-European. There might be tales far older (in fact it is likely that there were).

Depends. Dio Brando ''does'' love or makes meaningful friendships with certain characters in JoJosBizarreAdventure, but he still qualifies as a Complete Monster. Likewise, I've seen certain CM candidates fail to meet the cut because they expressed love for others. I think the main decider is whether that love actually stops them from doing what they do.

Junko certainly loves her sister and boyfriend, but it doesn't stop her from getting a despair high from betraying them. If anything, it intensifies the thrill. Considering we have a greater understanding of her mindset now and know that Junko isn't so much insane and incapable of feeling Hope as she is ''really'' bored and sees Despair as a means of having fun, I think she might actually qualify now.

Don't get me wrong, The Steering Committee are real pieces of work. In some ways, I see them as viler than Junko; at least Junko seems to put some passion into her evil and can be entertaining where the Steering Committee are just callous and wanting to play God with Hajime. The main issue, I feel, is that we simply don't see enough of them being evil. We see the after-effects of their policies, but it's almost a case of OffScreenVillainy with how little screen-time they get.
