When it came time for the critic to turn out some work it was sloppy with basic mistakes. I called it irony but I imagine psychologists would call it fitting. Because when you make the standards so high that no one else can reach them it makes you feel better about your own limited talent.

I think when you show preferential treatment to one subgroup you have to prepare for when it goes to their heads.
