But then again, one could point to the Buddha's behavior in some cases and claim that he has "righteous view"

Yes but didn't the Buddha pointed to the way things are, rather than about how he thought they should be ?

I would also assume that a highly advanced being could use appropriate but firm words which came from a relaxed mental state of clarity and emptiness rather than from the up-tight negativity I catch in myself sometimes, lol !
