I find it easiest to just nod my head and agree with all the above reviewers. This is a prime example of a fanfic that creates a head-canon that infects (Yes, much like a cybug) the rest of the fandom and becomes part of the collective fan consciousness. It's brilliant, and once read, cannot be forgotten or put out of mind. This makes Mr. Litwak and his reasons behind his arcade solid and utterly believable. This makes the cut as a fanfic that redefines how we, as the fans, see a portion of the fandom.
