> Do you intend to give the air of smug self importance? It's tacky. there's a very weird, counterintuitive, psychological phenomenon on display here. somehow, in your opinion, the article itself doesn't cross the threshold into "smug self-importance" even though there's a strong call to action/categorical imperative (espoused/propounded) in the article. on the otherhand, me suggesting that that's the case, is smug self-importance. there's a word (maybe several) for this phenomenon: hypocrisy.
