I never said any of the stuff would make me a Delta.

As for the Se/Ni? My guitar approach, for a while, came off as extremely unappealing to Ne/Si valuers in particular (I remember an instance in which a frown, gritted teeth, and an "eenngghh" noise was used by an Ne-IEE in reference to a particular chord with the fourth and the major seventh above a root note and a buttload of jagged distortion piled onto the whole thing, it was not a compliment in the slightest), Se/Ni valuers on the whole were much more receptive.

Real life instances such as that; some that I remember the specifics of, some that I only remembered temporarily to mentally catalog; that's what it comes down to. This isn't an all out crapshoot here. A small amount of unavoidable uncertainty doesn't equate to all hell breaking loose all the time, and the same applies to the possibility of a type changing; one person out of thousands gradually dualizing through the type barrier and ending up ever so slightly on the other side does not equate to types everywhere chaotically mutating into anything and everything.
