Fair enough, but it sounds like you're critiquing the author's writing style rather than their point, which I think is a reasonable one.
Personally, I think there's a bigger lesson to be learned though: you shouldn't emulate anyone except yourself. Otherwise, you're doomed to a life of being a poor impression of someone else.
- impendia 15y ago> you shouldn't emulate anyone except yourself. I couldn't disagree more. "Myself", insofar as I want to "be myself", describes my values rather than my habits. I often meet inspirational people who are very talented in ways I admire, and usually this is because of their habits, their wisdom, facts they've learned the hard way. I do my best to notice how they've achieved this, and imitate whatever meshes with my personality, my priorities, and my values.
