Talk about cutting the balls off the concept. The most compelling thing about a werewolf tale is the concept of a complete loss of controll, becoming a wild beast. The whole puberty metaphor is rendered neuter if the beasts are rational.

Lame.
What's the point of just changing shape, if nothing else changes?...Damn, they may as well become butterflies...No, then they could FLY...

I guess it's more like just putting on a wig, or changing your clothes...That's pretty lame...
