Do you think the screenwriter of that episode thought to themselves "I have done my research and I will write an episode revealing how the self help industry works?" Or do you think they thought to themselves "This will be funny: we have this wacky character crying in the self help section, it's ironic because with all those books, she should be the person least in need of self help!" I think it's the later. If the episode was saying something that's true, it's merely by accident.
