I think even very helpful is rather strong wording. Useful to some people in some situations, certainly. I would liken a teacher to a planer, rather than a hammer. Instruction is not so fundamental a tool as most seem to think.
You keep accusing me of an ad hominem attack, as if this is something shameful or wrong. This is not a formal debate, and it only seems natural that I should express a distaste for the espoused beliefs that I disagree with.
