I (weakly) predict that building a shoulder advisor or two out of less-useful-but-more-emulable people might be worth it via giving you the skill of emulating to the available max? Such that, finding emulation in general a little easier and more familiar, you might be able to try again with the actual higher-value targets?
FWIW, I have been genuinely surprised by advice from shoulder advisors that I could not predict; in a very real sense, that’s the primary claim of the post. You don’t have to have the same wisdom and experience to spin up a mental chatbot that will sometimes be able to mimic the pattern well enough to produce something novel and useful. If having a good shoulder advisor required being as wise and experienced as the real person, I don’t think I would have felt this post was worth writing.

That makes sense, I’ll give it a try.

That makes sense.

Ah, I see.
