This is the story of most comedians. Good comedy is easier than good drama and deep art and invention. It's a young person's game. Good to move on to something bigger and better.
Yes, Simone is a better robotocist than most of us. That's not a compliment to her, because her dreams aim higher.
The sexist fear angle of the story is unfortunate, though. People shouldn't hold themselves back because of imagined differences in what they are allowed to do.

I highly disagree. Good comedy, especially one that stands the test of time (and not just wit du jour) is hard.
I thought I couldn't disagree more, but I actually do.
From Leslie Nielsen to George Carlin, a lot of my favorite comedians were grey-haired, old people.
