I think we can all be guilty of it at times. We have little choice but to look at things from our own perspective - even when we try to look at it from another perspective it is still that other perspective through our own - and so stuff we don't immediately understand seems silly, unfair, pointless or whatever. Usually, but apparently not always, by the time we put on a few years we begin to grasp that things are not always exactly as they first seem.
(Of course, some things truly are silly, unfair, pointless or whatever, which makes it so tempting to jump to the chase early, without bothering about that annoying learning phase.)
