Well, that clears up part of it... but what's the moral of the story?

It hasn't got a moral. It's just a pattern of human activity I've noticed, filtered through a metaphor to highlight the relevant parts and remove distracting contextual details.

Capping the end with explicit advice would imply that I knew how to fix the pattern in question.

Your metaphor has unfortunately also obscured the relevant parts and inserted distracting contextual details.
