Interesting, but downvoted because it doesn't fit my normative model of a LW appropriate parable. I tend to distrust parables because they are effectively anecdotes, but with out the benefit of being true. Sometimes they can still be useful for illustrating points that are being supported by real evidence. But as I don't see any non-fictional evidence being presented in this post and the point isn't very clear I feel justified in downvoting this one.
