When I say this (in a highly compressed form, on the shortform where that’s okay), it gets a bit downvoted; when Scott says it, or at least, says something highly similar to my intent, it gets highly upvoted.
Having read both your sentence and Scott’s article, I would not have connected these two as saying the same thing without this addition. Given that one sentence in isolation, I’m not able to tell what your intent was.
I think if you’d expanded it to a few sentences, of the form “Here’s what we shouldn’t do, this is why, this is what we should do instead” that may have been better, rather than just the former.
