Your points are valid.

Even for a forty-odd year old such as myself. No need to dumb-down the sense of self worth nor tone down the projection thereof, to satisfy a client who acts like an imbecile or who demonstrates inferior intellect. Simply provide facts in aq polite and dignified manner. Granted, you may be an authority on DM / SM, but as as educated adult, I am not that desperate for revenue as to “condescend to myself” if you will. I have my dignity, common sense; sense of self worth and my savings, so I’d rather risk being frank and lose my job – I’m financially robust and employable enough. I’m proud of “where I came from”; I AM “as good as I think I am” and the client is not always right, neither do I need to pander to him or her as such. Perhaps its just a British thing. Recognising your limitations is fine, but as far as humility is concerned: I reserve humility for more profound occasions.

Don’t forget… those same rules apply to ur client. There is a big world out there with many slices of business perspectives… look for that slice of business with the perspective similar to yours… business men and women who will appreciate and respect you, your talents, your skills, your sincerity, your genuine approach to business is appreciated and there is someone out there right now who is also wishing he or she could find someone to work with just like you!
