No, it's not the delivery that I take issue with. It's the unintended consequences. See this.
If LW must tackle self-help, I want to see meta-analyses of published science. I want sample sizes bigger than one. If a writer feels compelled to write down "what worked for them", then in the name of Bayes, at least set up an ad-hoc internet survey first. Gather some data about how people actually are, not how you are. Because you don't even know how you are.
That's the center of the other-optimizing problem.
I reread that post and now, I understand. I think I've been making this mistake a lot recently. I think 'other optimizing' is not a very descriptive name, though.
