Of course that never occurred to me in my mid teens when I was playing it, and now I am one of those 'old' 50somethings

Amen!

Oh, I didn't mean to imply it wasn't a Chickadee, only that it was svelte!

I don't think it's a nuthatch, though.

Maybe she's just stretching out, but that Chickadee is looking a lot more aerodynamic than our Chickadees, who normally look basically spherical

I think with Traveller the idea was that 'high level play' was probably more about being wealthy than having extra skills.

I never had a character that I played for very long though, so I never found out.

I remember Traveller didn't have any levelling up in it, so the main way you had a character with lots of skills was for them to be old. Most of the games I played had a team of military veterans in their 50s.

Great to see it happens when talking to real people as well!

I had a very similar moment when I worked at Unity, analyzing a bug that had come through. Its advice was to make a bug report submit it to Unity, who apparently had great programmers.

I replied "But doctor, I am great clown Pagliacci"

and after that it actually gave some helpful responses.
