I’m curious to know what you and PJEby got out of it. I didn’t get anything, except “don’t sabotage yourself” and “think your decisions through”—not really anything groundbreaking.
Technically, I agree it was “don’t sabotage yourself”. (EDIT: For a non-player of MtG.)
But writing “don’t sabotage yourself” just wouldn’t have the same impact.
I care about the impact. I would rather spend my time reading one article that makes an impact, than hundreds of articles that don’t—even if they contain more information (that I will quickly forget). I am just a human, and I need to take it into account when optimizing for myself.

What’s distinctive about it is that it makes certain kinds of self-sabotage vivid rather than just offering an abstraction.
