I'm not sure if you're expressing what you think you are. They outlined a group by nature of the problem (so the people in question have something to improve, tautalogically), so it's not like they are painting with an overly broad brush, unless you think people that accomplished something hard and then automatically assume they have faculty in all topics is not a group in need of examining their assumptions more closely?
I don't think it is, which is my point. It's essentially saying "I wish people with BEHAVIOR PROBLEM would do THING THAT MAY HELP MITIGATE PROBLEM." There is no statement of the size of that group, or how many people exhibit that problem. Unless you don't think the behavior being talked about is a problem (which is different than thinking not many people have this problem), then I'm not sure how having empathy towards them factors in. Is wishing they had more perspective and could avoid a cognitive pitfall not empathy?
