When I originally wrote this, I think I was projecting too much. For instance, "I think that there is not one expatriate who has lived semi-permanently in the third world without going through this progression." This statement assumes that every expat who moves abroad is an idealist. Upon closer inspection, I think this is not universally true. Some expats are not idealists when they move abroad. They may have already had training in street smarts in their home country. The article would have been more accurate if it had clearly stated this from the beginning.
