First of all: *Applauds* Secondly: I definitely agree that the article is quite dumb. In my mind, clearly, the writer was a non-nerd, or dare I say it...a wannabe nerd? :-O!
I think the best part is the "What if?" trait. I would definitely say that what sets nerds apart from others is their capacity to think beyond what's there, and that many have huge imaginations. Because seriously, I don't see how so many nerds could enjoy a game like D&D - or any RPG for that matter, especially ones that delve into fantasy - if they didn't have that penchant for thinking of new things.
