Cute.

My perceptions are more “pure” because I have extensive training in this area, I am heavily involved in this work professionally and scholarly, and that experience helps me see things through a different lens.

Also, for anyone who does this work intent doesn’t really matter, but rather impact. After you deal with impact, you can deal with intent.
