So the only explanation begins to fit is that, “of course” caretakers were somehow taught, and this is when it starts to sound like backward explaning. Victims are another case: they were shown affection in the most important years of their development, so they didn’t become infantiles, but they still got the message that they were unwanted?
But I will give you that you spent more time consideing infantiles than I did. So.
