I think it feels that way to those who think they know what helps and what doesn't. To me, it feels like a vast majority agree helping is good, but are cynical about the method and helpers. I think we can all agree that repeated failures and not learning from them is intolerable.

I'd agree with that - I appreciate the added granularity. I wonder sometimes, what if the problem is because we so disagree on the methods we can't get anything done, when either full bore one way or full bore the other would be a better outcome?
