Then IMO you should be on Magnus' side here. He is a truly smart person and IMO he looked clean, groomed, and ready for business in those jeans. He wears a mindfully put together outfit of good quality. This is good character, is it not?

Honestly, I couldn’t care less. I just hate the attitude in the nerdosphere that anyone that cares about their appearance is an idiot.
