   Anger is always

   The only means we have of proving that "it's always healthy to try to express anger" is if we're told that it's a visceral emotion, because we were told that "it's always healthy to try to express visceral emotions". This answer tells us something about "anger", so it was worth reading, but without being told it's a visceral emotion, we wouldn't be able to combine this with the evidence and logically derive the idea that "it's healthy to try to express anger".
