Advanced Tournament Holdem advice

If you are like me, you've read plenty of poker blogs and websites.  You are probably well beyond the neophyte stage and aren't baffled by concepts like implied odds and more.  The articles are fun to read, aren't they?

I wonder though if you've noticed what I have: no matter what the situation, you can probably find at least two well written explanations that advise acting in entirely opposite ways.  Sometimes you might even find that from the same author, separated by months or even years between writing.

There's always good reason and it's always because of things that aren't related to the cards.  "I felt he'd see my intent, so I just cold called instead of raising", "I limped in just to confuse him" and so on.

Yes, I believe in fundamentals.  You've got to know odds, you have to be aware of your outs and all that. But poker - especially tournament poker - is a game of people and situations in addition to a game of odds.
