    It was a long sentence. I was merely pointing out that I don't believe pointing out hypocrisy is a valid argument. Although, people use it like an argument all the time.

      If that is a sincere question then yes, I would if the advice seemed sound.

        Well, thanks. It happens a lot actually: the crack addict who tells others not to do it, the drunk who tells others never to start drinking, service members who warn others never to join and go to college instead, etc. It's good advice.

          Now we're in opinion territory.

          they don't know enough about the subject to even make it work for themselves.

          Knowing enough and having a desire to apply the knowledge are two different things. I am pretty sure most morbidly obese people know about a 2000 calorie diet. They just don't care.
