I could (and do) wish Jon would've gone at her harder, especially with regard to assertions like "high self-esteem is sometimes bad, therefore it's always bad!" which are so obviously both flawed and wrong on their face. But yeah, you raise another good argument against dodgeball. And "deliberately misleading" seems to be Sommers' modus operandi -- the alternative is that she's stupider and more ignorant than I can conceive... and I've personally encountered some pretty profoundly stupid and ignorant people..
