It's my impression that the ability for Instrospection is a rare trait in people as is Self-Criticism.
Not that I think Carl's dictum doesn't apply to those who have those traits: I just think it's harder for it to happen to them and it's easier (but not guaranteed) for them to spot that status of being captured by a belief in themselves and get out of it or at least try to work around it.
