Great question! Analogous to Box & Draper’s “all models are wrong but some are useful”, that applies to descriptions too. When does the wrongness of a description cross the line into a myth that’s worth busting?

If individuals want to dopamine dress or dopamine detox, I applaud the spirit (even if I don’t agree on the mechanism). Who am I to rain on that party?

My take is that it is my role to 1) spread sense not nonsense (silence across the board is suboptimal; fill the world with good content! 2) do it in a way that is not obnoxious.
