Wait, people are more likely to have heard boring advice than punchy advice? Why do you say that? I would have assumed the opposite (punchy advice is more interesting and therefore more likely to be repeated).
If few people have ever heard a given piece of advice, it doesn’t sound boring in the first place, does it?
So you’re saying “advice people have heard before is boring,” not “boring advice is likely to have been heard before”?
Yes, mostly.
