No, no, you misunderstand me. If you accept the old saw that the best way to overcome the fearsome and/or the unknown is to confront it head-on, then the struggle with heights isn't really all that noteworthy ("Learn how punch when learn how keep dry," as Mr. Miyagi might have put it), but its converse in the next generation becomes... interesting. In a "when did I wander into a backchannel dojinshi" kind of way, anyway.
