Is the Fi ego so "timid" and so concerned with "harmony" that they can't go "No.. no.. Bob was the one bought that present. Not Jim." Does that, like, "shake" up the Fi ego internally that they would go to their rooms privately and flog themselves with a leather belt? Or can make they make a correction if someone's using the wrong type of tool to solve a carpentry problem? Do they just sit and stare, worried that such a correction will insult the person and destroy a relationship..? Can they be teachers? Or any other kind of job where you correct on facts or say "No"? Can they write a book on.. say.. Constantinople - and cite sources, previous research, etc.. and then offer a different hypothesis on an event. To basically "disagree". Or does that "scare" them to hurt the feelings of that old Princeton professor who had a book on Constantinople a couple of years ago? Do they live out life like dropout hippies and simply "not care" about anything like this and just do chores for people for the rest of their lives?
