I think you’re probably right that there are elitism risks depending on how it’s phrased. Seems like there should be ways to talk about the problem without sounding alienating in this way. Since I’m claiming that the focus really should just be on detecting insincerity, I think a good way to synthesize this would just be to talk about keeping an eye out for insincerity rather than “rent-seeking” per se.
