It feels like the underlying message you’re trying to get to is:
When people who have never experienced poverty first-hand jump in to the conversation, there is a real danger that they will spout the same unhelpful misconceptions and argue that they are solutions. This can set the conversation back significantly while real lives are at stake.
On that point, I would agree. Such as “Those in poverty just have to work harder”, which IMO is one of the absolute worst and most damaging mindsets.
