As I recall, the punchline to Ben's pursuit of 13 virtues was "Adhering to all these virtues makes one too perfect to be humble"

The list is self-conflicting.

Franklin's conclusion basically was "everything in moderation".

Yeah, I thought the list was supposed to be satirical/humorous but it sounds like the author of the article was really trying to follow the virtues. Am I missing something?
