I'm not sure if that is a better solution, or just another one. It seems that there would be inefficiencies when people are operating with incorrect assumptions about one another.

I don't see enduring wet kisses from an aunt to be suppression of a reality as much as they are just over-looking a fault with someone you care about.

That said, this was a good read.
