How do I need authority to praise someone? I am only offering my own opinion and it should be obvious that I am doing so. If I say "Bill is a great guy and does a lot of good for the community" it is almost certainly understood by anyone who would read/listen (even if they think Bill is a total jackass) that I am neither stating an objective fact nor am I attempting to do so.
Praise is simply one way for a person to tell the truth as they see it. It only becomes delusional if you insist that it is a truth every person must subscribe to.
