I think this goes much too far. Yes, everyone's different, and not only
anatomically, but our tastes and goals are also our own. Doesn't mean
that advice from other people is worthless, just that we shouldn't
follow it slavishly as if it were Divine Inspiration. There's a big
difference between considering advice as part of a process and being led
blindly by it.
