I don't know how altruistic -Warrick- ever was either, and I don't think anyone claims -he's- incapable of love. How apparently capable is Carnac, for that matter? None of them seem to want that ideal, so it's completely being imposed from the outside
Yes, which brings up another thing that bugs me with the whole authorial intent thing, is that it seemed like reading the series, that the point, or a big point was showing that Toreth was not just what his psych profile said, yet then people arguing this insist on reducing him back to that. "It says he can't love, therefore this isn't love."
