The problem is (if that weren't enough) it's also diminishing his character.
And we always knew he was human. This whole "Sheldon was a robot/Pinocchio, and now he's a real boy!" malarkey is very odd. If anything he's gone from a real boy to a mawkish caricature of one.
He was sensitive, eccentric and brilliant, now he's a luridly-painted buffoon, wholly dependent on others. Giving him the odd, remarkable Vintage-Sheldon line isn't enough to mitigate the (as Space said) character assassination of the last few years...
It's really odd and you have a good point. Like he's always been human and has had emotions. His life was just structured and had order. I don't know what they are trying to do. It's just lazy writing. They don't want to (they don't have to) write smart anymore. Non of the boys or girls act intelligent anymore.
Bitches be crazy.
