CMV: "Every case is different / ask your doctor" is gatekeeping bs
This is most commonly seen with law firms / healthcare providers, where they publish a general article about some question and end with this to encourage a consultation. I consider this gatekeeping because I assume / it is reasonable to assume that every profession has an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure), i.e. a series of "If this Then that, Else ((nested) If this Then that, Else...)".
For example, for every case a lawyer will handle, there will be some applicable law. Because the law defines the condition for someone to be considered guilty, the lawyer just applies the conditions to find feasible defenses. For the sake of this discussion, case law is treated the same as statutory law. Thus, lawyers just "execute" a series of "if-else" statements.
It's the same for doctors. A doctor orders a series of labs (or observe symptoms), and based on those ("If-else") make diagnosis or prescribe medication (and decide dosage).
TLDR: "Every case / everyone is different" is not true. Almost everything (or at least the most common things) can be described as a bunch of "If-else"'s, thus the claim of "uniqueness" is simply gatekeeping and a way to generate revenue.

Putting bias aside, the signal is clear, the strategy less so
the logic is there, but the execution is uneven That part stands out. Feels like there’s more coming here. Others will probably see it differently.
Looking at this, the follow-through is what will decide this and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone Others will probably see it differently.

Just reading this, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s where it gets complicated That’s the key detail here. This probably isn’t the last word on it. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s where it gets complicated That part stands out. Hard to say where this lands long term.
