You see, you are taking for granted that
obviously non-parents will never know enough about child-rearing methods to even say something to "true parents" just from reading "one book", but if that "one book" contains information given by thousands of parents, it's really the experience of those thousands of parents that the non-parent is giving, and it can be argued that it's arrogant from the "true parents" to simply brush that aside just because it's in a book. Now, of course any one book can contain a lot of nonsense, whether about hockey, the US, child-rearing or whatever, but Te is precisely about being confident in evaluating the
worth of bookish information.
What you are displaying is precisely that lack of confidence, or skepticism, about anyone being confident or able about sorting out rubbish from useful information.
