It becomes problematic in caretaking contexts -- when being helpful and supportive with a peer who is an autonomous adult who can make her own decisions and thus an attitude/articulation on my part of, "I know what is best for you -- let me do it for you/you do it the way I tell you to," is inappropriate on a lot of levels.

But I am not disputing that yeah, I often do know better than other people :)
