No the advice still holds true here:

> That's a funny one, and I agree, and it's also the reason I use "and" instead of "but" for those kinds of sentences. It doesn't trigger people's alarms.

In this case the advice isn't all that profound, the "but" is just sectioning off the first part of the sentence like a parenthetical.
