My point wasn't about whether or not you can train people. My point is that you shouldn't, in general, think of human beings as things upon which you perform training.

There may be certain contexts in which training is an acceptable thing for a person to do or have done to them, but that typically doesn't apply to normal interactions between adult human beings.

I don't think OP meant that we are expected to train other people, unless you are a licensed therapist whose job is to do so.

I believe their implication was that we can and should be training ourselves, which is something we already do every day.
