I am both.

Not necessarily.

I read the link and make the same claim I made previously: I am both. The advice that I will choose to give is determined by the same physics that allows me to breath.

Wait a second, you will not choose an advice. You will reproduce the advice (consistency constraint!).

And for the advice to be advice you choose, it must be physically impossible to you to reproduce anything you think is not of your origin. I envy your self-esteem.

Edit: Given condition is sufficient, but not necessary.

You don't have to reproduce the advice. And if you don't, you won't have to.

That is important special case: the advice = no advice. But that is easy to overlook, thanks.
