Although in this post the authors have emphasised more on the hijacking when we say things I find it somehow related to the "cognitive costs of doing things" ( see http://lesswrong.com/lw/5in/the_cognitive_costs_to_doing_things/ ) When you do something you always pay a price. Maybe in the list of what to do could be added to be prepared and estimate the price you are going to pay when you are planning to do something.

Also beware of the "beauty bias" (see www.overcomingbias.com) if a handsome/beautiful person tells you something its seems you are more likely to agree with him/her.
