I don't have a problem with that. But the issue for me is that some object to any sort of general statement or supposition about therapy that is critical. As if even attempting such a thing is wrong. And as if such a thing somehow invalidates their own therapy experience.

If I had a positive therapy experience in the future, I would acknowledge that and be grateful. But knowing what I know, I would still maintain that the system is probably more harmful and insane and exploitive than not. I don't see these two things as mutual exclusive.
Thanks for this!
