Yes. My own everything-o-mancy has been leading me toward this idea of "context-keeping" more and more. And I've seen first hand recently how people miss it. The ability to restrict or eliminate the context of a debate is one of the most powerful tools the Powers That Be have. On the other hand, just because an idea happens to be beneficial to someone who is arguing for it, is not automatically a good reason to dismiss the person or their idea. Again, the largest, most inclusive perspective is called for. Usually when I find that two people's emotional biases conflict, there is a third factor that's not being seen by either of them which is creating the conflict.
