Agreed. What I disagree with is the way things are stated.

"Never house snakes together" and "I recommend that you keep the snakes seperate until you get more experience" are two completely different comments.

When absolutes like 'never' or 'always' are thrown into the statement. It creates a false fact in the mind of the person receiving the advice.
