Why is Broad-Minded a Quirk?

We have already touched on Attentive in this discussion. It appears to be a scaled down version of Single-minded, which is an Advantage offering +3 and -5. If that is a 5 point advantage, it makes no sense that something the same but just lesser should convert to a GIVING you points.

So it's not fallacious at all.

Same with Broadminded ...

Except that's not supported by the descriptive text of this trait.
