I think he's popular more for his engaging writing style than anything else. I would consider the fact that he made mistakes in the past a non factor at the least, and at best, an indication that he's capable of learning from mistakes.
- michael_dorfman 17y agoI enjoy his writing style. But I think people have been putting him on a pedestal for a while, in terms of the advice he dishes out. The fact that he's made mistakes in the past would be a non-factor, if it weren't for the fact that people are following his dicta-- and how do we know that the advice he gives now is not going to be the fodder for next year's "I-was-so-much-dumber-then" article?
- BerislavLopac 17y agoIt's very simple, actually. Anyone who blindly follows another man's advice, without checking everything and bringing their own judgement into the formula, very well deserves all that happens to them.
