>>78565799Suppose you get jumped in a city, and start yelling for help, and are immediately saved. So you remember this good advice: "when in danger, make a lot of noise!" You then give that advice to your friend.
Your friend gets deployed to Vietnam, gets ambushed at night in the jungle, and he remembers your advice - and then dies, because making a lot of noise helped the Vietcong more than it helped his team.
Was the advice good, or bad?
The advice was appropriate for a context that it didn't include. Mori's advice is very appropriate for a workaholic. Mori's advice is dangerous to a normal person's work ethic.
Conclusion: Mori's advice was bad, as good advice should include such context. But also, Mori can't really be blamed for the advice ending badly, because normal people don't expect much context from general advice, and are expected to do their own thinking on its application.
Probably what *really* fucked Council was Google, because all of the subscription-count shenanigans muted signals about slow growth that they would've otherwise gotten, to realize they needed to work harder.
