Hmmm. Definitely it is better to avoid speaking in absolutes when possible. On that I agree. But the kid has a point, also. I'm not an expert on the subject, but there is a lot of literature out there about the emergence of leaders in groups. It seems to be a general phenomenon that whatever size group there is, someone will emerge as the de facto point person. I think where the kid goes way more wrong than his use of absolutes is his assertion that there is "competition". Emergence of a leader can, but doesn't necessarily have to, happen by competition.
