I see nothing disingenuous about it. I think it does a good job of capturing the idea that if they get too bureaucratic and set in their ways, that is what they will model and teach and it will undermine their goals by undermining new batches. I homeschooled my sons. I talk to them a lot about such ideas. For example, we talk about how the subtext of a lot of games winds up being stereotypical corporate things like "I hate my boss" and "Life is a completely pointless pursuit of money." That tends to show through, no matter how hard they try to dress it up in wild fantasy settings. You teach what you are. You can't really get away from that.
