You know, now I want to write a version of this story with a neat twist that the person gets exactly what they want, no loopholes, no tricks or rule-breaking, but they realize that it isn't all that it's cracked up to be and they're deeply disappointed, and now that they've achieved their life dreams but their dreams aren't fulfilling, they're forced to rethink things.
I think that's what the moral of those stories are supposed to be, but they botch it somewhat by having some cheap subversion or trick come in that ultimately isn't in the spirit of what they asked for.
Sciencepone of Science!
