Non-xkcd readers aren't clever enough to realize that a simple percentage increase in risk might not be all that meaningful out of context!

Randall's fascination with the classroom environment is deeply sexual. Note that in these scenarios the lecturer is always female. His imagined banter with the lecturer always has a subtly flirtatious character, which her deft rebuttals serve to rebuke, maintaining a professional distance (note too that the speaker is never depicted within the frame of the comic). The lecturer is thus preserved as a safe object for Randall's fantasies, rendered at the same time desirable by her carefully indicated feminine hairstyle  and unattainable by her superior intellect. Randall has the best of both worlds: he gets to maintain the sexual initiative and the security of knowing she will never explicitly reject him. It is precisely the dynamic that prevails in the interactions in Doctor Who (c. 2005-2015) between the titular Doctor and his female companions.

What Randall doesn't get about these zoomer memes (blessed, cursed, liminal spaces, etc) is that they are about categorizing existing things. You can't just make up connectors that don't exist and then declare them "cursed".
