Wow what a doozy of a post. Kudos to you for the effort alone! Strongly disagree with 4 & 5. These only add more unnaturalness to speech behavior. Also disagree on 14. A lot of points (7, 10, 12, 13, 15, 18) are hollow, almost patronizing. They sound like they're in the same league as "be confident" and "don't be upset by stuttering". My favorite message of the list is stuttering is not your choice. Just as fluency is not your choice. Also strong agree with "I will always stutter", to "I can right now choose to move articulators". I like to say choose to make sound.
