What do you call that then?
No, it's just that it's often unhelpful and misleading when someone becomes adamant about a certain position -- say, the superiority of traditional print over electronic print -- and then it comes to light that they have little experience in either.

That's why advice is only advice.
One hopefully uses their discernment and decides what makes the most sense when evaluating other's advice.
See, the thing about only accepting advice from people that have 'been there' is that it narrows your field of potential advice greatly and cuts out completely the knowledge of people that have perhaps friends or siblings that have succeeded or have a ton of education in a particular area but never sought that particular limelight for themselves. Like a record producer can tell you a ton about music and the music business but he may not have ever been a
musician.
For me, the bottom line and major crux of my life is enjoyment. Gaining for my own sake but also for the sake of others. I have no beef with money but I have to have fun. Choosing something that was only about money would probably require me to sacrifice an aspect of my life that is frankly more important than money.
But if money makes you happy, go for it.
