A point that says it's wrong to compliment somebody without complimenting a whole bunch of other people is a non-point. It's plain that the real point is the popular notion that nothing positive should happen to anyone who isn't downtrodden, because they already have too many positives and don't deserve another one. If a kid gets a compliment for drawing a picture of the sun and some clouds, looking up her family's net worth and making it a class war issue is just childishly petty.
