I appreciate the warning & hazard, but I wish it were coached in a little humility too. For every comment you cite:

I see one person who did find their way. Often they recommend something fairly mild & not ultra-aggressive, but thinks like getting links or having weekly templates seems like it can be a huge help.

I'd like to see some mildness mixed in with this naysaying curmudgeonliness.
