Well, you may well be right, but there is a pragmatic contradiction
here, you believe it is good advice and you do not follow it, so your
energies would probably be better spent in analysing what's stopping
you from following it, rather than encouraging others to follow it.
But anyway, it doesn't really matter, it's no big deal either way.
