Perhaps you might take a moment to read the context within which the kiddie pool comment was offered:
"That is an excellent piece of philosophy, which I'm afraid too few can understand or embrace, as evidenced by the single-mindedness so common in PB"

There we are. Context.
I feel put down by this statement. Why? Is "single-mindedness" a term of endearment or, rather, a pejorative use of words? This is probably a less civil comment than the "kiddie pool" statement.
