that you got advice for the particular areas you needed and it was not always bad is actually a pretty major step up from what you’d otherwise be dealing with, in my experience.

If you could find a source of advice for areas you need that is always bad, that would be amazingly useful. Each piece of advice is another pitfall you can confidently avoid.
The Inverse Cramer strategy has been doing pretty good I hear.

Unfortunately, real life advice is rarely something you can short. :(

Eh, I know you're being facetious but the opposite of bad advice is not good advice. Things are more complicated than that. Which is why even a 20% hit rate (say) could be very impressive.
If you can get multiple wrong takes on the same topic you can very likely narrow down the correct path by a lot. Even if each piece of anti-advice is kind of vague by itself.
