The problem with radical honesty is that it doesn't do shit for the person.
You're ugly.
You're fat.
You're XY.
What's it do for them? Nothing, except feel worse about something they probably feel bad about already.
"Brutal honesty" should only happen when you're offering constructive criticism - where you're actually giving them a suggestion on how to CHANGE said offensive condition. Otherwise, you're just being a smug asshole calling people names.
