OH FFS. This person is pedantic at best, if not dumb. How can you call yourself academic and then proceed to completely mis-communicate with people. When the therapist asks, &quot;Are you absolutely sure you&#x27;re not going to hurt yourself later today?&quot;, she&#x27;s asking it within a certain <i></i>context<i></i>. The therapist is obviously excluding out of the ordinary incidents that may happen. Apparently the author is completely missing the context because she&#x27;s either a pedantic nerd, a foreigner still learning English, or just dumb, not because she&#x27;s in her &quot;academic&quot; circle.
