People sometimes don't appreciate the complexity or, in this case, duplicity of a fictional character. They will literally perceive said character as a real person and will place themselves in the protagonist's shoes. Would you want to be stranded somewhere with this person? Generally, no. But that doesn't mean his character can't be appreciated on a literary level. Murphy's complex and unpredictable, and Harmon has done a very good job with him.
