Yeah. That should be a different guideline, at least, and probably someone should do an essay attempting to put forth a coherent idea of what exactly it means and how to interpret it.
If it's an attempt to say "please stop telling people that they're dumb so often" then it belongs under NPA anyways.
I actually think it's the complete reverse of what AGF is really about. I frequently interpret AGF as "Assume incompetence". That is, assume that someone is just clueless, absentminded, ignorant or something, rather than malicious...
