The thing is, we relegate these kinds of ideas to the subconscious for a reason: it's incredibly condescending to let them out. It's good to be aware of them, but it's a bad idea to embrace them (whether rationalized or not).

Granted, sometimes you have to let them out. Sometimes you run into a situation where someone is doing something wrong and you have no choice but to "pull a rank". But aside from that, it's generally a bad idea to give these thoughts too much weight.
