I don't watch the x-files practically at all but from what I have seen,
what really matters is that she is always wrong. Seems fairly
"conventinal" to me albeit in a possibly unconventional way. Maybe I just
happened to see the episodes where she dismisses strange things because
they don't fit her rigid little world and he makes brilliant deductions
about super-natural phenomena.
