Recently I've been thinking the important thing is that advice is always highly context sensitive, so throwing out "good advice" without qualification or discernment leads to a lot of harm. Take (again) dating advice: Saying something like "you shouldn't put so much emphasis on someone's looks" may help someone who is unsuccessful at dating and puts an inordinate emphasis on looks in their selection process. But if someone who already had a balanced view on looks that hears the advice, they may take it to heart and try dating people they have no physical attraction to and find less success.
