I definitely agree that the Psycho-Ido correlation will not help us determine who – capitalist/socialist – is right or wrong. So as a tool (“ammunition”) in the discussion itself, this correlation is really not relevant.
But since we haven’t found any logical or empirical evidence that can conclude one way or the other, I suggested to look at things from another point of view – of personality. It is difficult (because we have to analyze ourselves) but I don’t think it is irrelevant.
In your example too, I think the interviewer comment is also relevant because it explains her point of view. Based on which I, the ambassador, may update my explanation to emphasis that Israel’s action is in self defense. I also might send an inquiry back to Jerusalem, just to verify that nothing we do is a result of some “marginal” tendency to violence.
