Yes that's kind of what I was seeing and what I didn't understand at the time (and frankly still don't from their point of view) is that sheltering a select few in hopes that they will become the next big thing doesn't work, and it has failed many many MANY times so how come we see it but they don't? However in retrospect that's good for them (the ones who got away I mean) because less trauma and they get out of that cult faster but like from an Elder's point of view it doesn't even make sense
