I find the advice not to listen to strangers bizarre. Maybe it's because the following is assumed, but since it hasn't been stated yet:

Try to practice evidence-based parenting.

Instead of having arguments about parenting, try to understand what the science says, and if the science doesn't say anything conclusive, critically evaluate the anecdotes you receive from other parents.

The problem is there is very little good science available about parenting, because it is considered unethical to experiment on children.
Then it would be nice to have a good resource where to find science nice articles on many topics affecting parenting?
