I'm not fond of serious use of the NPC/human, messenger/human characterization.
It's great to help people along and make them aware of their behaviors, but all I see are humans that have been tricked and conditioned from their potential to varying degrees and in different ways.
I am forever grateful to the conspiracy theorists who took a moment to reach back and help me along with a meme or comment that violated the terms of service.
I think this is another way to look at the phenomenon of "sheeple". A lot of research repeated over many decades has shown that roughly 80% of all people do not think for themselves. Instead, they find a (group / tribe / herd) to belong to, and then just blindly follow along. They crave the safety of the herd above all else.
The minority of people capable of independent thought prefer to think for themselves, and are therefore also capable of changing and improving themselves. Sheeple only change if the whole herd they belong to changes... which does not happen very often.
I think the messenger / human analogy Rosanne refers to is just another way of describing the difference between those that think for themselves and the vast majority that are only capable of blindly following others.
