Yep you're right.
But that's level 1 thinking.
You can go to 'level 2', a set of reference to the system of metaanalysis whereby you analyse that thinking in itself.
When discussing psychology informally, we tend to do it at level 1. Most people operate at a level 1 basis.
When we abstract things (represent them as numbers or symbols), we can manipulate them in our minds at a higher level much more easily, and can go to level 2.
Really clever people (rarely me, but now I've done it so much it is pretty much natural) and some people who have too much time on their hands work at a level 2 level.
If they do this systematically, they can 'control' level 1 thinkers very easily.
Because this is a formal thought system, it is easy to progress to level 3 and so on and so forth. That is, you analyse the thinking of level 2 thinkers.
Being a level 3 thinker and thinking you are analysing a level 2 thinker who is really level 1 does no help to you.
You can control only when you are only level of 'meta' above the other person.
Why have I explained all this?
Your explanation is true and Trias explanation is true, but Tria explains it at level 2 as her norm.
I try and explain at a base level (0 or 1) or at the highest level I can (but I usually get lost at around 4 or 5).
If you play poker, it is easy to understand the practical applications of this system...
