In this instance, I believe quantum physics has the metaphorical answer. It states that The Very Stuff Of Stuff can exist in both a wave and a particle state, at the same time, in ways we can't really get our heads around without instantly dying. This is similar. It's both sublimely magnificent and unspeakably awful. It simultaneously makes you look admirably practical and a complete and utter tool.

Now, if they made one that held a book, so you could read while you walked, that would be a great idea, with the added value of being incredibly dangerous. I'd be there in a shot.
