It actually was the other way around ;-).

After reading your message, I tried to think aloud by listing what I
try to do, and I was impressed that your three-line advice was a
very concise and very well written summary of that.  I agree that a
guideline should be kept as concise and clear as possible.

The main point of my message was that reviewing and coaching may be
costly, but we have to do them as an investment.
