It's about as wrong as a chameleon changing his skin color to blend in with his environment.
We are social creatures. We need this flexibility to survive, whether it's an asshole who needs to display manners so his boorish behavior doesn't isolate him from everybody, or a meek individual who needs to display assertiveness so they're not eaten alive. I think it's only natural that one adapts themselves to fit the environment they're in.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
