No, that's the gist of the whole article. Some people do not learn how to control their life and I would say that's the important diference. You have to try to learn this new skill not to unlearn "helplessness".

"And it’s only in situations where we think that investment of resources is worthwhile that part of our prefrontal cortex tells the dorsal raphe nucleus to chill and let us do something about it. In this context, it’s not helplessness that is learned, but control." The worthwhileness can be both positively and negatively reinforced externally. I have seen this numerous times when working in various teams. Not sure it is what applies here.
