I think the issue here is precisely what you stated: Lack of intellectual horsepower or unwillingness to use it if it was there; which is a form of self-mutilation. I have some empathy with Amiel, despite herself; she is just a bit more over the top than the countless others who would act the same way in the given circumstances. Yes.
