I'd agree in so far as it makes pulling scams (or innocently giving useless advice) far too easy:

"I had depression, and I tried X, and it worked. You've got depression, so you should try X." Extremely unlikely to be helpful, and often can be harmful.

Yes, it's like cancer, we don't know the cure but everyone rushes to tell you that you just need to take a pill and you'll feel better. Which pill?
