If they are fake, I certainly agree that the advice was terrible. I'm a lousy judge, so I don't trust my opinion.

The point I was trying to make was that in the past, some very strong leaders handled stress by crying. I know perfectly capable people who do now, some of them are even very masculine men, which is highly unusual in this society. My point is that basically this bias where crying = weak is a relatively recent, cultural bias, which doesn't hold any particular truth.
