I'm obviously a little touchy

Looking at my assigned case study I found a quote, whose purpose was obviously to inspire.
Instead it irked me, and I found myself looking back at the case more critically.

"A child can see a painting, but it takes a teacher to unlock the beauty that is contained within it.”

Is it just me, or does that seem a bit dismissive?

Anyhow, I like to take clear note of when ever I find myself being biased. I'll try and put more weight to the notes I took on the first reading, rather than the second pass.
