Eric is making a lot of assumptions:
<<Not discarded, as much as noted that if your advice to avoid this
strategy is not being followed even by the giver, it's probably not
good advice... and thus I hardly feel the inclination
Wow. There's a lot of worldview collapsed in that sentence. Are you saying
that
1) I advise people never to distinguish and discard ideas?
2) I habitually distinguish and discard ideas to my detriment?
3) The way to determine whether advice is good is whether the giver is
following his own advice?
I would question all of those assumptions seriously.
<<If I didn't distinguish and discard some things, I'd quickly have way
to much to do.>>
So true. That is why clarity of purpose is so important.
