...I know.

Twas a joke.

Well you wouldn't say it was very good anyway, would you? It's either fine - no problems - or bad - problems.

True.

Considering he was referring to the PS2. "Very good" cannot have been what he meant. ;)

I would never use the term "fine" to mean "very good". If a teacher wrote "Fine" on a child's work, would that child think they could not have done better?

I challenge the definition of "fine" to mean "very good" in this particular circumstance. In another, maybe, but not this.

I have high standards. :)

Something that isn't outstanding is often considered acceptable, though.

I meant:

Fine: very good/acceptable

Adequate: not outstanding.

Would be one way of looking at it

Fine: very good; in good health, acceptable

Adequate: Sufficient, enough; not outstanding.
