>Instead, we must find strategies that don’t require us to be strong.

Similar to the title, is is again framing it as an either/or situation.

Reality is that strategy+ willpower is the winning approach. Making change will almost always require strength, but strategy can make that requirement lower.

Throwing out your cigarettes/beer/ junk food makes abstinence easier, but it doesnt make abstinence easier than buying more.



Again the article already says all of this. The issue is people judging the entire thing by the title.


then the article is sloppy and inconsistent, because that is the opposite of what the title and conclusion said.

It is like an article with starting and concluding with "bleach is safe to drink", and then discussing the dangers throughout the body.

I dont think everything needs to be dumbed down - but parts of it are literally false and contradictory.
