You will note that I am not terribly skeptical of Babs becoming a lawyer (she can make of that as she will, whether that is a compliment or an insult).

I've known AA since he was an internet pup. That might not give me the right to express skepticism, but certainly, he can value your vapid well-wishes above my skepticism.
Backpedal and dissemble.

You have generalized, categorized, and boxed things up just so.

Perhaps you could have been more specific, then, in your advice to AA. The most specific thing you've done to apply your advice to him is to use a poor metaphor.
