Why is his opinion to be muzzled, rather than those who suggest having a career plan? How do we know a career plan is good advice for everyone?

Career plans are wonderful for those whose career goes according to plan. ;-)
nothing is perfect for every single person, which is what I'm saying
No advice is perfect for everyone, therefore never give advice? That'd be a pretty terrible idea.

The question is how many people the advice would be useful to vs how many it would harm, and to what degree. Framing it otherwise just inflicts a massive loss of utility on all the people who would have benefited from it - i.e. you'd be choosing a world with more misery to live in.
