Of course we could argue it either way. But I think that a taser is too much like some mystical force field as compared to actually being *struck* by something.

We could try an analyze it the other way -- how does falling instantly in love with someone feel? Considering Cupid, the greeks must have thought it was sudden/unexpected, painful, and ached for a long time. Possibly Cupid could be armed with a golden tax audit.
