While I do agree with the last statement wholeheartedly, does it not reduce the significance of the most important five and six worded statements?
"Let me ask you something. If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?"

That's a good question. I might agree with your interpretation except for the fact that those two statements put the other person first (5 word statement) or diminishes my importance (6 word statement).
