I hate articles like this. Or maybe it's just the headlines but it follows a set formula:
1)Person X finds a way of doing something that works for them.
2)Person X writes an article either saying outright, or implying, that this is how it should be done for everyone
About the only universal statement I've every found useful is the one that says "Universal statements should always be treated with skepticism".
