This makes sense. But I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. I think goal-motivation is different from goal-attachment. Being attached to "I will do my best to make x happen" rather than x itself focuses on actions and growth (within realm of control) than consequences (often outside of realm of control). Like a product failing because people are just not into it.
I think we can avoid those mistakes but what I see here is people telling other people what to do in a way that sounds unconditional: "x is better regardless of your situation." Some techs are better for x, other for y. Merging someone else's experience tree into your own is good, but it must be contextualized by their perspective--they're working on mobile embedded soft vs. you are on web, maybe, for instance. Or games vs. databasey things. Or their job is a performance engr but you are UI...
