Meh - yes, it's to be expected, although perhaps more easily in written comms than in real life, and perhaps less easily in a context where one is a willing pupil.
However it's not really my interest in chasing it headlong into an adversarial game of chess where I have to guess the right angle; that goes beyond what I'm willing to engage in. You can resist any psychological engagement if you're so inclined - even self-referred CBT patients 'fail' because they don't want to change.
In our context, that ability to engage is movable based on the pupil and the quality of the teacher, but I certainly don't have many of the answers, nor claim to.
Interesting demonstration though.
Edit : I do, and more did, get annoyed at others' shonky driving, especially when it fits the pattern of being considered rather than just plain incompetent, and also when it enables them to reinforce their poor behaviour as WG describes. However all this stuff works for me - at least to an extent.
