This post reads like it's taken out of context from a larger conversation. (Also, the title commits relational projection fallacy - who needs to know, and for what purpose?)

It actually was from a larger conversation. Nancy brought it up at the last Philadelphia meet up. I don't think any relevant details are missing and we didn't come to any thoughts that haven't already been brought up in the comments here. Was some part unclear?

Yes. I didn't understand where this snippet was coming from and where it was going. (This is related to the relational projection part.)
