I'm saying that I don't think Otaku could use a normal Datajack because
an Otaku's brain would work differently than a normal (meta)human's
brain. These were just suggestions because if an Otaku doesn't need the
formating of a normal datajack to jack into the Matrix, the DFR rate
would be faster... I never said they didn't need a datajack, I was
suggesting that they needed a specialized one ...

No, it doesn't :) It says that the interaction between the brain &
datajack change... IMO, that is because of the changes in the brain not
the datajack ...
