No. I don't think that you are missing anything.
But on the other hand, I too have been provoked
into saying less than kind things to Olga (which
I always regretted later).
There is no doubt that she has considerable talent
in this area.
But she still has yet to have an entire thread
devoted to her comeuppance, and so I do believe
that she still has a few things to learn from me.
