There's also just so much overwhelmingly bad advice out there that sometimes, stating the obvious real thing is worth doing.

That's true. And answers that seem obvious later, aren't obvious when you're young or less informed.
My personal example: I had to do a lot of research, distillation of sources, and so on, in about 2001, to figure out the answer to a simple question:
Can a person truly be a professional poker player--that is, be able to profit consistently in a proveable way, not some kind of lucky tournament win and then you masquerade as a pro--or is that a bullshit dream held up by a few desperate gamblers?
I recall it took about a week before I felt confident about my answer and I had to overcome my own bias.
