Robin was kind enough not to say what overemphasizing the heroic individual rationalist implies about our true motivations.
That's overly simplistic. Two people might have the same motivations and goals but disagree about the most effective way of achieving those goals. If you think that's not the case, you should give an argument to that effect. If you think it doesn't apply in the particular case that we all know you have in mind, you should give an argument to that effect.
I'm surprised the parent is rated up to 10 points. It indulges in armchair psychologizing with no supporting evidence or reasoning, and it interprets the situation in the least intellectually charitable way and assumes the worst of motivations.
