It doesn't say they are GOOD, just that they are STEADY. Steadily bad is still steady.

A dead patient has steady vitals too.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dead patients don't have any vitals at all.

Are their vitals at zero, or are they null? Steady if the former, error if the latter

[–] Knuschberkeks@leminal.space 12 points 3 months ago

they are null. People say "he's got no pulse", not "his pulse is zero"

tbf you cant swing a domestic feline with steady vitals without hitting a programmer here

They don’t respond therefore are null pointers.

[–] InnerScientist@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

You could even say they have the stediest vitals of them all.

Consider that the other patients that didn't successfully bind may have had worse numbers. (Idk if those were shown in the movie.)

It's the same way I'm lucky, nobody said it was good luck

[–] pathief@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Bad example since lucky literally means good luck.
