Good wording the excellence of others, recognizing the accomplishments of others, thanking those who contribute to our lives and being sincerely grateful in expression and/or complimenting others who have earned such honor, is not flattery but good manners and Christian duty. The words may be the same as flattery, but the motive is godly. I am sure the author understands these things, but it might be wise to clarify that flattery is based in motive and not word content, least we find ourselves unable to express honest appreciation for others without feeling like such words are flattery.
