@ABScientist first of all, I'm not convinced that, in the examples you provided, people really are always so clear-eyed about their parents' flaws. do you have real-world examples, or is it possible that variations of the same rhetoric still turns up? “he lived a good life", “he died doing what he loved", and so on?

but yes, the person's own cavalier attitudes toward infection likely add to it, no doubt.
