We used Cook's work as a springboard for our own creative work.Do you disagree with this analysis?"
Not a bit. In fact: just exactly so.
"My response to that is 'who's we, white man?' In other words, I think individual experiences with this will vary a lot."
Sure. I project my experience outward onto the world, making it very common; you project yours outward onto the world, making mine uncommon. So it goes.
I don't think that your "it's not as common as all that" is a deal-breaker to my "it's bad." If I'm railing against a rare problem, so much the better!
