Hmm...

Less talented people all hot and bothered because the naturally gifted aren't motivated to exploit their superior abilities to the fullest.

Gee, where have I heard this concept before? Oh that's right. It was the runner analogy. Inside a teahouse. Episode 10. IIRC, the concept of "expectations" also came up.

Go easy on the kid. I don't like him either the way he is now. But he's only 16, tops. How many teenagers do you know who aren't insufferable at that age?

Let's wait until he's old enough to drive before we give him the real once-over.
