You know I'd agree with you, but after reading William for greater than a decade, I have come to the tentative conclusions that he believes that pleasing himself is all that is important to him. This includes, of course, pleasing others as part of one's own long term interest. It appears that the research suggests something profound, which I think you allude to. Parenting is for folks who have goals other than their own pleasure, who are truly willing to put the needs of others above personal pleasure.
