Interesting, I have the same issue with the Pelican/Protege model.   
While I will happily support anyone who is working and learning  
leadership skills, etc., I doubt I'll ever take a protege for pretty  
much the same reasons.  Your mileage may vary of course, and I have  
absolutely no problems with those who choose to formalize their  
arrangements in that way.
