I think I get what you’re saying and you already touched on what I’m going to say. It’s a television show with a decent audience and, I hope anyway, that the producers wanted this interaction to raise awareness on how approach a very common occurrence. It’s unfortunate that using means and methods outside of the norm to complete a task is considered “struggling” but that’s life. Maybe in another few hundred years mindsets like that will fade away but until then we got what we got.
