I agree with that observation but would add that sometimes it's not the person who is unfamiliar with the "advice," but the person giving it. Sometimes people can be way off base and say something that can be seen as destructive or harmful. Not that they intend this, but there are unconscious things that happen. And for me it seems that there are times when it is clearly mostly a projection. When that happens, I actually don't think the person has a valid opinion. They are being reactive not responsive. there is a huge difference between the two.
