(nod) The obvious thing to do there, I suppose, would have been to have Alaia explain them, mirroring Vader's explanation of the Sith Virtues, when she told them to Obi-Wan at the end of that sequence; but that would perhaps have been a little too obvious, and besides, her understanding (as her internal monologue in that scene shows) is more instinctive than articulate.

A lot of people probably think she is, but she's of the opinion (one of the many she tends to share with, e.g., Korra, of whom it is also often expected by strangers) that a person can't live with that kind of intensity all the time. It would be exhausting and alienate other people.
