Yes, some of these tacks are sort of flattering on first glance, in a way, why should I be forced to think less of myself than deserved, Romans 12:3; Galatians 6:4, 5; Ephesians 2:10, although if taken to extreme that could break some things. Such as, for example, the way that sometimes the attitude of schoolteachers can seem sort of condescending, their classroom techniques spilling over to the general public when off-duty. But whatever. What of that? Who am I to argue with the CIA about these trivialities? How can the Doctor expect to effect a cure without any diagnosis? Just poke needles in people and see what comes out? Terrible.
