I think this happens a lot with other advice too. Diet/health advice like the constant barrage of "eat less fat" and "eat less salt", dating advice like "don't focus on looks", etc. I get it, in one way... there are people out there who are unable to listen to the end of a sentence that starts with any qualification at all, and barely listen anyways so it needs to be repeated, forcefully.
