I think this helps a lot.
There seems to be this impression that being sx instinct means you are are deep and sentimental and passionate or something. But to me sx just seems selfish and disruptive...uncaring, even, in a way.
Makes me think of red decks in Magic the Gathering. http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Red
The overall strategy with red decks is to disrupt with fire and goblins and such.(I personally always preferred green decks above all, though red can be fun. Just gets redundant.)
Anywayyy...I think this is super helpful @siuntal.
I have similar views as you, @lungs, I think...about sx-first seeming less intimate. To me it just seems like a volcano erupting and creating chaos. I don't really see what is so "merging" about sx. To me, sx seems anything but "merging." Like "This is me; idgaf how it affects you." Which...doesn't seem intimate at all.
