s/you/one/ I don't think it's really about YOU in particular, just "you" the author or "one that is saying things like this."

Another example, "Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime" isn't about "you" it's about the concept of "an individual (that might be the reader)." This phrasing seems to be more agreeable with some people and possibly there's different tolerances geographically.

I've tried to use "one" in place of "you" to remove this ambiguity but it's at times uncomfortable to type lol
