You're assuming you can access the original.

Part of the reason is that the situation has to be just right (it's very rare) and the other part is that if he misses, it's icing.

More like a regular computer with a lot of batteries, and plywood for "novelty."

Hopefully you didn't fly to the hotel, they'd make you buy an extra seat for your laptop.

Someone in the video, near the end when they're showing it off in public (I gues they were not really worried about someone grabbing it and running off with it...), says "whose laptop is that, André the Giant?!" which made me have to pause the video for a minute till I was done laughing.
Also makes me wonder for a moment the ratio of people who know him from his wrestling career vs his acting career.

My advice is don't let it sit too long. It's valid to say "I'm having emotions over this and I'm still figuring myself out." and it's much better than waiting too long to have the difficult conversation.

One of my favorite band's songs has the singer complaining she's blue, and then specifying exactly how blue by Pantone number.

Not necessarily. Consider the following: I take a picture of my cat using a digital camera. I open up a laptop without a hard drive, boot to a Linux thumbdrive, copy over the picture from the camera's SD card. I make the picture smaller by some percentage amount and then make the picture bigger by the reciprocal. Save the output of that process and use that as the base for the steganography.
Now, even if someone gets their hands on that SD card and somehow defeats deleting the picture / destroying the card, they still don't have the "original" image that went into the steganography process.
