I disagree on this point, or at least, I think I can offer a counterexample. Some people write their characters to be contributions to the narrative. I know not everyone is like this, but sometimes you have characters that are, you know, less complicated.

Of course! I don't think we disagree, I think I just tend to dig too deep most of the time :)
