That lack of capability and you stopping them are such different things. The second you deliberately discourage someone from individual thought your crossing an awful moral line. Even if a person makes a poor mistake at least it is their choice. Yes you might have made a better choice for them, in your opinion, but crossing such a line for genuinely helpful reasons just one time is a dangerous precedent to set. You comment is basically the basis for all justification of oppression in the history of the world. That's the kind of things that good critical thinkers should realise it it important to avoid (making me almost suggest your a victim of your own fallacy).
