You're probably right.

Satan's last effort, after attempts at persuasion and coercion fail, is flattery. Why do you think "Samael" means "Venom of God". Poisoned praise, indeed.

That's why GATE is such a nefarious program. Nothing stimeys the development of a child prodigy like separating him from his peers and telling him he's "Special"-er than everyone else.

In fact, I believe that is the entire point of the "Gifted and Talented" program; to pluck those with un-empathetic potential for further "grooming" and to simultaneously throw the Indigo into praise-ladden ruin.
