There's a part of the story where demons are negotiating peace between a town and attacking demon forces. As soon as Frieren hears of this, she says the town is doomed.
Moral of the story is if your problems are caused by a group, don't expect a member of that same group to help you solve that problem.
Ironic then, that she shows the continued use of hiding your power level until crucial moments and using that to flip the table on people and manipulate them, while the guy talking about the allegory is a walking example of someone who cannot stop sperging about his power level every moment of the day to the point of turning off people who agree with him.
