Tightrope walking over Niagra Falls is just as difficult as tightrope
walking anywhere else. Once you have the skill to walk a tightrope
high up in open air, you can do it anywhere. All it takes beyond that
is "courage", "insanity" or "stupidity", depending upon the
perspective of the person judging you. Few can develop the skill.
It is not comparable to learning how to operate a computer and
knowing what to do to move data, which simply takes storage devices,
a little time with a book, and a plan to do what is required. Nearly
anyone can do it, except for the very incompetent.
