"Filtering" isn't a problem with an argument technique, it's a problem with argument. Every argument is a filtered argument, which means that anything that makes an argument more persuasive makes the filtering problem worse, whether it involves using self-affirmation or conveying ideas clearly. So the "bad" looks to be fully generalizable to all persuasive communication, making all arts dark.
I mostly agree but with severe caveats.
