It is logical for humans not to trust or accept advice from a hypocrite, even if that advice may be good. It's not about the advice itself, but about who gives it. That was my point.

Unfortunately humans have emotions, and those emotions factor into our so called "logical decisions". To ignore our emotions is to pretend we are machines, and machines wouldn't be in these situations, as a machine wouldn't give advice it doesn't follow itself.

Now, if we were machines, sure, if the advice is good, it's good, doesn't matter who gives it.

Furthermore, if I already know the advice is good, did I receive advice?

Well, OK, sure. Irrationality is logical in that it's human.

That's one great reason to learn self awareness and mindfulness.
