Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

No, rarity is a Tim claim that he has examined skeptically.  Anyone posting arguments based on wikipedia details isn't being skeptical or even logical.
