I think you may be reading my previous comment without considering its context in the thread. I was initially writing in response to the observation that this was "Yet another group of smart folks focused on more-effective advertising." It wasn't clear to me that you and I pivoted from this.

Of course I'm able to consider the idea, rbarooah. What I reject is the notion that we can project our own values on a person and then blame him for not fulfilling them (thus my original comment).

I do recall the context.

What were you trying to convey with the phrase "It's a shame?" Was that not your judgement of their choice?

Also, how do you propose to prevent other people from blaming one another for things?

You didn't answer my question about why family members are exempt from your general view - which I am genuinely curious about.
