The section "Do Not Listen To Your Elders" seems unnecessary. The point of the entire section seems to be just this: don't accept advice unquestioningly; make sure that there are reasons to substantiate it. Doesn't that seem like a completely general (and presumably self-evident) point, not just in API design but in life in general?

I'd argue that the "Do Not Listen" section does have a point (and, as Adam mentioned, one that serves as a lifelong lesson as well); it can definitely be shortened, but I think it's okay to keep in a 1-to-2-paragraph version.
