You are assuming that I'm trying to give you advice that benefits you?

Please reread the following paragraph from your own comment:

That has it's own further consequences down the line. If those further consequences later impinge upon your utility (eg help that you need but is not extended to you), then it would be worth considering adopting "my" rule.

Cousin_it's reply made sense. Yours does not. The context makes it incoherent.

Weird... my comment above was a reply to a completely different comment of cousin_its

I can easily see why it looks incoherent.

I'm now going to go looking for the comment that I was actually replying to.

Edit: nope, looks like cousin_it has re-edited his original comment and removed that which I was actually replying to, so that my reply appears to be no longer relevant.

I am leaving my comment in place anyhow.

Oh - and I was giving advice that may or may not benefit people in general - not specifically for cousin_it's benefit. Thus why my reply is not entirely incoherent :)

I was mainly responding to his statement that "I don't understand why it should be adopted." by explaining why it's worth considering as an option - ie why other people adopt it.
