“That’s very, very easy, you see then, for an auditor to go out with wide advice and become the wise man—very easy—and give these tremendous pieces of advice to people who come to him and alter their lives. Any preclear is so willing to be evaluated for, they’re just suffering to be evaluated for. ‘Should I do this, shouldn’t I do this? Should I do something else?’ A great temptation on the part of the auditor to say, ‘Yes, you nitwit, can’t you see that?’ See? ‘Can’t you see that, that you should do?’ No. Real bum. Real bum. He just takes some of their self-determinism away from them. They’ve lost too much already. Let them solve their own problems—that’s best processing.”
— L. Ron Hubbard
