I'm afraid that as accurate as this commentary is, as manipulative as exampled by Bednar many Mormon leaders are (people tend to establish patterns by emulating leaders),
Mormon leaders are effectively insulated from the reality most of us deal with day-to-day to avoid real engagement with most individuals.
Prime Examples of Mormon difficult Questions:
- Why did Joe marry women who had living husbands?
- Why are church finances hidden?
- Why did BY cover-up the MMM? Why hasn't the church offered reparations to the victim families?
- Why is the church allowing persons who initiated divorces to be remarried in chapels & Temples, especially those where one spouse used religion as a Wedge? I'm referring to cases where no abuse, no adultery was claimed or suggested.

fwiw, I don't think it's fair to group-categorize people of different occupations. when I was an apartment manager, another worker in a different job suggested that apartment managers are drunks / alcoholics.
In today's highly specialized & technical world, we're 'forced' to rely on the honesty of others in fields that we can't DIY.
specialization gives us in general a higher standard of living even tho I'd never again attempt tuning up my car, repairing an appliance, etc. Other things I can't DIY: dentistry, computer programming, + many, many others.
If your sentiments can expand sufficiently to accept the possibility/likelihood that ALL occupations have their 'tricks', then I will die on this hill with you.

Probably... when you’re good at something, you don’t like it when people who are bad at your job ‘taint’ how others see you.
