I like when the advisor has lived or done the thing advised. That means the advisor has paid for it—be it with time, money, effort, feeling or most expensively, people. This doesn’t tell me that I personally will benefit from doing the same thing, it just tells me the thing was once judged to be worth it. Dishonesty adds that this was a mistake.

Sure, but, I claim it’s pretty common to over-use this heuristic.
