What is a \\\"Pragmatic Anti-Hero\\\"? Does that imply that the rest of the levels are *not* pragmatic?

Take for instance, Jack Bauer, one of the best examples of a Type IV you can get, who is probably one of the most pragmatic anti-heroes in fiction, but this \\\"improved\\\" scale has in a completely separate level. Hell, pragmatism is almost the central defining element of an anti-hero.

And the fourth level is \\\"Unscrupulous\\\"? Unscrupulous means lack of morality, which seems more like a Type V than a IV, or even a straight up villain rather than an Anti-Hero.

The former scale made sense, this one doesn\\\'t. It seems like an entirely unnecessary change that just made the issue worse. Characters could be defined in the old scale, this one is completely vague.

And that\'s what this page is for. A numbered list is easier to navigate and comprehend than a random adjective that may or may not actually correspond to the example itself.
