I think perhaps the reason sx is overtyped is because it's romanticized. Single-minded obsession and throwing yourself into something or someone with no net to catch you is really not quite as pleasant as "one-to-one" or other means of describing sx instinct. With no stops on it from other instincts it would go beyond the fanatical to the insane.
you've added more fuel to that romanticizing of SX with your post.
i am obsessive with my interests and will seek out all I could absorb about them and that's how most of my friends are. this doesn't make the whole lot of us sx firsts.
