sounds right to me.

i just mean that if something excites a non-programmer enough to get
them to learn to program (even badly, at first) then that isn't such a
bad thing. could be a game, a spreadsheet, logo, wanting to make a web
page, whatever.

the problem is that educational facilities often don't give a rat's
ass about what could possibly really motivate each individual
maximally. (partly for economic/pragmatic reasons, sure, but partly
because i think education kinda sucks.)
