This is your axiom, not necessarily a truth, and certainly only relative to context.

*shrug* It's my opinion, take it for what it's worth.
I happen to believe personal revelation is an intensely personal thing. Does that mean we can't learn from someone else's explanations of how it works for them? No. But there are risks in getting too specific to too large and diverse an audience. When every word you say is scrutinized in detail and essentially carved in stone, there can be misunderstandings or misinterpretation. Some may try to imitate rather than emulate.
Sometimes it's better to teach principles, and let people discover the application themselves.
You can watch and read everything ever produced on the topic of skiing, but until you put your feet on the slope for the first time, you're no better a skier than the person who knows nothing.

I don’t recall an occasion when I experienced the “institutional racism” you believe exists.

Fusnik's is fairly petty complaint. It was just an off-the-cuff response to a pretty tough question to answer. Kinda unfair to pick it apart like that.
