I agree, and would say is equivalent to:

Yes true. Mostly just opining on the “list of everything you gotta’ know” is a bit TOO concrete IMO. (As opposed to too abstract)

I was quoting out of similar things years ago at the start of my career, “it should be done this way because X said it” didn’t help me at all.

It feels like insulation against being called too junior, since, you can just wholesale adopt someone else’s list of ideas and you’re good. But making mistakes because you’re new to the career is precisely what forms the base of those opinions in the first place.
