No worldview save the mistaken ones about Hawaii were stated in my article.
The article is after all, an analysis that point to the needs for accurate facts and views about Hawaii not promulgating false and misleading ones. Therefore the myopic views spring from those who criticize Hawaii and not the author.

As for your other point, you pretty much nailed some of the desires and attitudes of mainland transplants. I know because I have met and talked to my share of them. They clearly didn't do their homework before coming to Hawaii which is why they end up guppies in this small pond instead of whales. 

What's amusing is that such people are often limited in their provenance and background yet like to portray themselves as "sophisticated" and "worldly". 
Small world is more like it.
