That's a really nice view to have on emotions. And frankly, I've known it all along but never put it the way you have. Cheers!
What bothers me is that in case of 'emotional expressions' in a profession, it is possible to fake it and am sure we have seen examples of such (hypocrites) in our life. But may be in a given situation it is rational to fake it.
PS: Could you give the source of the Hitler example?
Whenever I notice myself thing "I knew that all along," it reminds me to check for hindsight bias. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.
It's one of the easier biases to catch, once you have that cached pattern set up.
