    90% of advice is first order. It does not adequately account for other known unknown and unknown unknown advice converging on advisee.

        @vgr I'd say most advice isn't even that good. It's second order at best without even thinking about first, third, fourth, etc..

        @mobiusbobs converging on client from multiple sources. Not the advice itself in idea space unless you work towards that.
