I take a different perspective. If my expectations are set too high then I'm practically unable to attempt doing new, challenging things. I can understand that sentiment of trying to be humble, even if screaming to the world that you're "trash" isn't terribly productive.

And it's not like I expect someone who's an artist of all people to remain upstanding in all their communications. I'd rather just hope they can keep honing their talents, of whatever subjective skill level.
