Your point has it's merits, but I still say that the anger isn't the problem -- the root of the anger as you point out is some false narrative (maybe even true, past abuse, PTSD etc). The anger is drawing attention to a problem -- if the problem is your internal world, then go fix that (reflection, therapy etc). If you properly address anger, it goes away. If you don't, it stays or comes back. So what you do in response to anger gives you control over whether the anger returns. Maybe put another way: You are in control of what you do when angry, and those choices impact whether or not the problem is actually resolved. You are in control over whether the problem gets resolved or not -- you are in control of whether or not the anger returns.
