[wrong] police can get away with any crimes they want (child POV)
[average] police can’t break the law even though they are police (the way it ‘should be’)
[enlightened] police can get away with any crimes they want (reality)
The middle person thinks they are smarter than the left person. But it turns out the left person was naive but correct, as shown by the right/enlightened person having the same conclusion. IMO anyway.
EDIT: also, the point of the example you gave is that Frankenstein the Doctor IS the monster (metaphorically) because he created the actual monster - I think you have misinterpreted it.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to insult your intelligence in any way. Just trying to have a friendly chat also. Sometimes tone can come across wrong in text. My bad

I considered deleting the post, but this seems more cowardly than just admitting I was wrong. But TIL something!
