  The target audience doesn’t effect my point at all

  But it does. Your point was that it’s “not a defense”. My point was “they’re not trying to defend”. At no point in that image does Troi make a defense for her own abilities. She says that people complain about her and then goes onto Vader. Yes. That’s a distraction, not a defense, but she wasn’t trying to make a defense in the first place.

  That’s my point.

    At best, it’s an implied admission, then a distraction to minimize consequences. “Sure I suck. But not as much as this guy! Amiright!?” That’s not really any better.
