Yes, I got the same impression. Annoyance's advice is vague, useless, condescending, trying to sound like it has something profound to say without being specific, sonorous-sounding, promising help without offering any. It is not, however, particularly Dark Side Epistemology.
I was thinking of your Dark Side Epistemology and Yvain's Dark Arts as two more-or-less separate things, the key difference stemming from the fact that Dark Arts are perpetrated on others and Dark Side Epistemology is perpetrated on one's self.
