I will say that this issue in itself is the low hanging fruit, and is not even one of the main ones that concern me.
What about preachers that “break out speaking in tongues” with no expectation of an interpretation? Are they edifying themselves as Paul indicates in this passage? It seems to be the case (to me at least).
Really, the issue is that we tend to emphasize certain passages, while diminishing the value of others. Some we even ignore completely. I guess it’s just human nature?

It's not a bad idea to examine how we do things.
