  Agreed, because it's not very actionable advice. At best it provides some examples of what not to do. The example leads to one classic bit of writing advice: tell only the very most important things and omit everything else. Start the story as late as you can and end it as early as possible. This applies to nonfiction just as much as to fiction.
