Yes, I think this gets to it, although I don’t know if it is an innate lack of competence - more immaturity or inexperience, without the maturity or experience to recognise the shortfall.

There's no doubt that reading Latho's book makes you think that the boy is batty. Thanks, Naomi - can I invent a new blog meme where I tag you and you have to read the rest of the book and continue my post? Honestly, I'm not that motivated to persevere with it!

Brogden, I wouldn't say that. He attempted self harm which doesn't indicate a lack of character, it indicates a vital need for intervention and proper care. Happens every day to seemingly successfuly, mentally robust people. Certainly it ties into the issue of men (and women) delaying medical help for physical issues, ignoring/downplaying mental issues is probably if anything a bigger problem. Who knows what Brogden was going through privately before it all became public. I don't, and speculation on it makes me a bit uncomfortable. Lack of character: Latho, yes.
