Don’t gloss over problems; bring them up. Don’t pretend you’ll go back and discuss when you get to the end of the book; discuss now. You need to get issues addressed now so that you can take those answers into account while reading the rest. Mistakes will spiral out of control, and destroy the value of reading the rest, if unaddressed.

This is itself an example of the issue I was talking about. I find a lot of times I give some advice, I later find out someone took it in a way I didn’t know about or intend. Like discouraging reading Popper wasn’t my intention.
