Yep. The problem with outside advice is that it's too often a low-effort opinion missing the context founders in the arena have. Another problem is too many rich people don't fully intellectualize the advantages or dumb luck (timing) they had on their side, and tend to freely proclaim opinions that aren't based on evidence as "iron clad laws". The best thing you can do as a founder if you have noisy a board member or investor is to derisk their mandatory "suggestion" on a smaller scale. It's probably a waste of time, but maybe not.
