Can someone explain to me the fascination of these super-hot peppers 
beyond the sports aspect? Is the pain worth the taste? Are these peppers 
just hot, or do they have a flavour that can't be achieved with 
traditional means?

I am asking this from the perspective of someone who used to eat very 
hot curries when young, but now reacts rather badly to hot peppers and 
considers *taste* is a lot more valuable than pain.
