Charlotte Baris: Last summer, at breakfast time, we could hear on France Inter some sometimes rather surprising remarks broadcast every morning, at 8:50 for several weeks. And if you have in mind the previous episode on the excesses linked to the training of psychoanalysts, you should detect one of the many errors heard in this column.
