It says:

If there were an option to set that default to 'false' (advice.default
maybe?), it'd have answered the demands of the experts, I think.
Well, just like newbies won't stay to be newbies forever (and that
is why you can disable advice.frotz once you learned about frotz),
what you call "experts" won't stay to be experts, either.  A new and
backward incompatible way to work may be introduced and a new advice
message to guide _everybody_ (including those who thought they were
already experts) may have to be introduced, and turning off all
advice.* variables, even the ones that you haven't seen, would hurt
them.
