I think this is a very good way to look at it.
That is: we want to help people we love grow in how they look at things; telling them what to see is not particularly helpful.
To extend the metaphor further: If you go around jumping on people with glasses, holding them down, and polishing their lenses, well, you're a psycho. But if someone comes up to you, hands you their glasses, and says "do these look clean to you?", the best thing you can do is pull out a cloth from your pocket and polish them.
