It's implicit in every comment that what they're saying is the truth! This is setting up for a rejection of any disagreement in a way that I don't think is conducive to a useful discussion.
As for your substantive point, it's true that you can use the part you quoted as the basis for some kind of paternalistic totalitarianism. However I wouldn't say that's an issue necessarily. For example something like "we should organise a government and allocate resources to some things and not others" is another site you could build your undesirable political philosophy on.
Acknowledging human fallibility and the broad range of aptitudes across society doesn't seem like it contains the seed of evil.
