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 19 points 1 week 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 13 points 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week ago

Bad example since lucky literally means good luck.
